My computer slow to open

When I try to open My Computer - it takes an exorbitant
amount of time. Also, I cannot browse a website unless I
type out the entire URL beginning with http://www.etc etc

I asked about this before and someone had me go into one
of the windows settings and change it (which solved the
problem). Don't ask me what it was - so I am asking
again.
 
Hi Gary,

Run the edit on line 157

Check your settings here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes

In the right pane, click New/String Value and name it www

And here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\UrlTemplate

I hope Kelly doesn't mind me adding that I've had this happen from time to
time, like yesterday, and unplugging and replugging my scanner solves the
problem. Works for some not others.
