Jane and Robert,
I missed the earlier part of this thread. What was the problem? Jane 
couldn't get Windows or IE to fill in the rest of a URL in the Address Bar 
once she began typing it?

Thanks.

solution too.

  Thanks so much Robert for your tenacity in trying to help with this issue. 
Suppose this is simply one of those glitches that cannot be resolved.

    Jane from my research your problem is more common than you think.

    As for right now unfortunately other than checking the proper boxes I 
don't think there is much you can do.

    I have read where people have gone as far as editing there registry with 
know luck.

    comparing reg tree's from a machine that this feature is working to one 
that it is not and still know luck.

    Sorry I could not be of more help with this issue.

    Robert

      In the internet options have you gone into the advanced tab and 
arrowed down until you hear use in-line auto complete on?

      I have a suspicion that it is under "set program access and defaults" 
in the start menu. A few times one program or another has set my email 
client to Outlook, rather than Outlook Express. I can't give clear 
directions on how to use this. I usually muddle through.

        I use Internet Explorer 7 and have been enjoying the automatic web 
address completion feature until just a couple weeks ago. The addresses I 
type in have been used a myriad of times but do not automatically complete 
any longer. I first of all checked the content page under the tools menu, 
and this feature is still checked. I reset IE 7, and again the feature is 
checked. In fact, I got a pop-up message asking if I wished to use automatic 
completion, and I clicked on yes. However,....nothing. Does anybody have any 
idea on this problem?
