Snazzy. I'm using the Whidbey beta, so I visit the msdn website for help more than I press 'F1' nowadays (here's to hoping the help links get cleared up next beta). By making the msdn help search URL be my quick complete, I will save myself a whole three keypresses!

The rumour is true! Thanks for this tip!

Btw, why is the TLD hardcoded? Why isn't the TLD picked based on my language setting in IE..?

Cool. Thanks for sharing this info.

Just out of curiosity, I typed "%d%s%s" as the QuickComplete string and the results were interesting! I don't know if it indicates a security hole but you may want to get it checked out.

Jesper-

I am not sure what the decision making process was. This is some very old code, and the original author is no longer on the IE team. My guess is to avoid having a lookup table. It is much easier to just put the string in the resource dll and let the localization team localize it.

More info was dug up at lunch: SV is the language code for Sweden, SE is the country code. So it is obvious why this got localized wrong-- the localization team is always thinking about language codes.

SV is the country code for El Salvadore, according to Raymond.

Excellent tip Jeff.

You might want to discuss the cool feature in IE when working with this reg key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl

I personally use this quite a bit.

Excellent tip!

Now what if I *want* to keep CTRL + ENTER = "http://www.<domain>.com"

PLUS have another shortcut for "http://www.<domain>.com.au"

Can this be done with another Registry edit?

John-

This only works with CTRL+ENTER. Like I said, this code is pretty old. :)

John, you can use SearchUrl and create a keyword.

au domain -> http://www.domain.com.au

for example.

http://www.mvps.org/serenitymacros/ie5.html will tell you how to make AutoScan work for Austrian domains. It isn't very useful since it was nobbled in IE5 and stupid AutoSearch, which I have never used (and will close the window even if it finds something), took precedence.

I WILL NOT USE MSN ANYTHING. I will not accept redirection, or hijacking as some call it, to a site I have no relationship with and don't want one.

I use this site to work out what country is what

In IE4 there was a registry key (I forget where) near where the AutoScan keys are whose name and template suggested it was for this. But changing it seemed to do nothing. When was this key introduced.

David-

I remember seeing those too... I'll try to remember to track them down and see what's up. I am not sure when it was introduced. I can only go so far back in the source logs. It's been there since at least IE5.5.

Here is a fix.. IE will not connect to a web page without manually typing http://

Using Regedit, have a look at this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL

The correct settings should be as follows:

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

Sub-key:

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

"ftp"="ftp://"
"gopher"="gopher://"
"home"="http://"
"mosaic"="http://"
"www"="http://"

Hope it helps,

Mike
