Hi,
Run regedit and check this key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Explorer\
AutoComplete

In the right pane the string values should be
"Append Completion"="yes"
"AutoSuggest"="no"
"Use AutoComplete"="yes"

Right-click and modify any values which aren't correct.

If you are not comfortable with regedit, please export the registry before
making the change. Just select (highlight) My Computer (in the regedit
window) then Registry, then Export. Doubleclicking that reg file will
restore the previous registry and undo any changes you've just made.

When user types in an address such as www.google.com, the
address is not completed to http://www.google.com.
CTL-Enter does cause the address to be completed.
Any ideas?

Check the below Registry entries vs. yours:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\DefaultPre
fix]
Default="http://"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes]
"ftp"="ftp://"
"gopher"="gopher://"
"home"="http://"
"mosaic"="http://"
"www"="http://"
