Hi, Until today I had been able to use QuickSearch.exe to do say, a Yahoo search by typing "y whatever". I just found out that as of today whenever I do that I get an error page because the address shows "http:///?%20y%20whatever". Kraig has had this very same problem and posted on February 27, 2004, but apperently nobody has been able to solve it. I tried removing all spyware etc, but it still didn't work. Unfortunetly my System Restore was somehow turned of so I cannot do anything with it. Have you solved your problem yet, Kraig? Is it possible there is noboby out there that knows why this happened and how to fix it?! Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thanks for the tip but MS Web Accessories are for IE5 and I have IE6. The trouble is that when I try the URL in Quicksearch it works fine but not when I use it in the browser window. It seems that when I press GO on the browser it ignores the shortcut. Any more ideas?
