a question,

what happens if you hold insert, and hit A twice quickly?

this was another method of getting the current address out of the address bar.

Hi, I don't know the answer and I haven't seen one so I would check your history settings. It sounds like your being presented with a list of sites and I can only think that it would be history.

Subject: problem with finding web site URL's in Microsoft Internet Explorer

Hi, folks.

Recently, I have noticed a problem with internet explorer when I try to
access    a web site URL address via the Alt D function.

When I am in a particular web site, and want to get its URL, I press Alt D
function, and the web address initially appears.

However, it used to be that that would be the only thing appearing on the
screen, making it very easy to select and copy it to my clipboard.

Now, I get many addresses, in addition to the one I have tried to highlight,
and often cannot find and highlight the URL address I really want. Most
often, the only way I can get out of this mess is to completely exit out of
Internet Explorer, and start all over again.

Has anyone had this problem and, if so, do you have any solutions to
suggest?

Thanks!

Tom Behler in Michigan
