For non U.S. web surfers users. The handy feature of being able to just type the 'meaty' part of the URL and having your system put in the 'www.' and the '.com' part is a handy feature of recent browsers. However, many people visit country-specific sites with different extensions. Canada has .ca, as Italy has .it and so on. One can edit their registry and add their own country to the list of defaults already there. Or they can create a .REG file and import the new stuff. Here's mine, where I've added .ca, .on.ca, and .net: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\UrlTemplate] "1"="www.%s.com" "2"="www.%s.edu" "3"="www.%s.org" "4"="www.%s.net" "5"="www.%s.ca" "6"="www.%s.on.ca" "7"="%s.com" "8"="%s.edu" "9"="%s.org" "A"="%s.net" "B"="%s.ca" "C"="%s.on.ca" If you cut-and-paste, be sure to include the blank line after REGEDIT4. Cheers, PW. P.S. As with all registry work, back-up before trying anything. Remember Murphy and his law.
