hi my ? is sometimes when i type a url in my IE6 address bar,if i misstype the url it automatically redirects me to www.autosearch.msn.com (i think thats the correct url,i havent seen it for a while)
i can't find any options to disable/change this in the internet settings so i assume it must be in the registry,,can any 1 point me to the rellevant key please?

Regards Dave

if you go into IE, then go to:

tools --> options --> advanced

then go to the search section, and fiddle with what you want. you can set it to go to the most likely site.

for example, if you type 'google', it will go to www.google.com

this may not work for all sites though.
