partial URLs not expanded

When I type a partial URL (for example, www.microsoft.com) into the IE 6
address bar and press [Enter], it would always "expand" to the full URL (in
the example, http://www.microsoft.com) and connect to the site. Until this
moning, anyway. Now both {Enter] and the Go button simply highlight the
address bar text, and nothing more. I noticed a some Microsoft updates had
downloaded and installed themselves overnight, but that is the only change to
the system I am aware of. Thanks in advance for any efforts on my behalf.
 
We posted the same problem almost simultaneously. Happened across the
solution when I notices another thread with a second problem I'd seen:

See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918165
"Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install
security update MS06-015".
