Re: Address Bar
Turn off autocomplete in Tools, internet options. Which browser are you running?

Re: Address Bar
Heh, I could imagine how auto complete can be the cause of a few divorces... "But... but... but... I don't even know what www.badgerporn.com is. Honest, love."

Not at all... asking questions is always a good thing. I respect the people I work with who question things instead of just accepting what they're given - although if they ask the same question more than once then they get a beating of course

Re: Address Bar
I much prefer it doing that, it's how i browse, i don't use bookmarks for the sites i visit the most, i can just type in C for cable forum, I for (ibank) barclays, V for vforum... etc.
I hate it when i clear my history and i have to do it all again lol
