Not sure of website address?

Most of the computer users would choose to type less if they are given such

an option. Problem is for many of us, to find that option itself is

challenging enough! Anyway I am talking to those folks who don't have habit

of typing complete domain names and want the computer/Internet to do the

job. Here are some of the registry changes that can widen your search

domain.. If in Internet options, Display result and go to most likely site

or just go to most likely site is enabled, you can type only the domain

root in the Address box and Internet Explorer attempts to locate the

correct Web site by searching different domain types. For example, if you

type "Microsoft" in the Address box, Internet Explorer searches the domain

types in the Autoscan list until a domain name match is found (in this

case, www.microsoft.com).

By default, Internet Explorer searches the following domain types when the

Autoscan Common Root Domains option is enabled:.

.com, .org, .net, .edu

To add a domain type to the Autoscan search list, add the string value ""

with a value of "%s." and a string value "" with a value of "www.%s."

(without quotation marks), where is the next available number and is the

domain type, under the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main/Url Template

For example, if you want to add the .gov domain type and there are already

7 domain types listed, add a string value "8" with a value of "%s.gov" and

a string value "9" with a value of www.%s.gov. NOTE: The order in which

Internet Explorer searches domains is based on the string value.For

example, the domain type associated with string value 1 is searched before

the domain type associated with string value 2.
