I recently installed Windows XP in a home environment (single computer
with cable Internet access). In addition to the Administrator, I
created another ID for myself which has administrative privileges.
When I use Internet Explorer 6 and enter an incomplete url in the
address toolbar, for example, www.microsof.com, IE momentarily
processes, fills in the address field with the complete url, for
example, http://www.microsoft.com/ and then displays the sites web
page.
Then I created two other users on the computer with non-admin
privileges. When either of these users are logged on, use Internet
Explorer, and enter an incomplete url in the address toolbar, as
above, IE momentarily processes, then stops. The incomplete url is not
replaced with the complete address, nor does a web page appear. There
are no error messages. Nothing. If you key in the complete web address
with the http:// suffix, everything works fine. If you leave out the
http://, the www., or the .com. Nothing.
I added admin privileges to the userids but that did not fix the
problem.
Anyone have any suggestions what might be the problem.
