I can't CNTRL enter in IE!!!

You know how you can type yahoo and then CNTRL and enter and it'll automatically add the www and the .com? How do I enable this? WinXP Home edition here.

It works fine for me in XP Pro. I couldn't live without that, I love it.

Agreed, best shortcut I ever found. Darein, did you look in the internet options? Maybe you turned something off?

I don't know. It works for my home pc, but not my work pc. Both have XP Pro. I haven't found the setting to fix it.

Other useful shortcuts for Internet Explorer:

Ctrl+Tab (Sets focus to the Address field)
F5 (Refreshes)
F4 (Pulls down recent history)
Backspace (Goes "Back")

And many others which you can find online, so I won't waste my breath

I really wish IE had something like Opera when when you click your right mouse button then click your left button it goes back, and when you do the opposite it goes forward.. that is so awesome for forums

You can just buy a nice mouse with extra buttons which would function as Back/Forward. No need to click any menus. Additionally, can't you right-click any page and select "Back" or "Forward" from the shortcut menu?! I can.
