It might seems like a lazy question but i was wondering.......
After re-installing windows from scratch on my friend's computer, why do i have to write the "http" to acces any URL in IE? (did not tried Firefox-sorry)
I used to be able to enter www.website.com to access a site but now, i'm force to write http://www.website.com
