Maybe the people who have it are running a different OS. Charlie

Hmmm, everything I have read, from user postings to MSDN blogs tells me otherwise. You are currently using IAC - from the address bar - with IE8? Jon

From the address bar. Hadn't really paid it much attention till now. Normally I'm just typing in a web url, which it lists the first 6 at the top. However, below the urls it then has a history heading, under which are the top 5 page titles, and under that is the Favorites heading, under which are the top 4 matches for the names under which they were saved to your Favorites. If I start to type in a name that I know is in my Favorites (and there's no match for basic urls or history), it only lists the matches for Favorites. -- Pete Ives Remove All_stRESS before sending me an email |
