Hi Pam,
Of course, be sure to "save" your registry settings 1st. :-)

Oh, FINE, I make this great suggestion and you throw it back at me
Ok, first START, RUN, type in - regedit - When the registry editor comes up
click on EDIT, go to find and enter - internet explorer - and of course ENTER.
You should be looking at something that looks very much like an explorer
screen, and your first "find" should be highlighted. Right click to either
DELETE or MODIFY an entry in the right panel, also look in the left panel to
see which folder is open. You can look at the contents of other folders
without messing with your original search; just hit the F3 key to find the next
occurrence of IE.

Hi Pam Chuck again;
You could do a registry search (Regedit or Regedt32, depending on win9x or
XP/2k) for "internet explorer" and check out the URL entries

Hi Chuck,
Wish it were that simple, but it isn't. For example, I click on google, from
my Favorites, and it takes me to google. Then one day I click on the same link
and it might take me to yahoo, or amazon, or evolt, or any other web site I may
have visited in the last 3-6 months.
It doesn't matter if I type in the address, or if I click on a link in a
page, or if I link to it from my Favorites.
That's what makes it so wierd! I can see the address I told it to go to in
the address bar, but at the bottom left, in the status bar, I can watch that it
is trying to take me elsewhere. If I simply hit Refresh repeatedly it will
eventually take me to the correct URL.

Hi Pam, Chuck here;
It certainly has been quiet on the Duct Tape front, hope that means that
all machines are optimally running.
My suggestion for your situation would be, that the typed URL over
enthusiastically "auto completes" with a recent URL, as you type in the first
part of the URL you presently want. Check under "Tools", "Internet Options,"
look at "content" and check "Auto Complete". I use IE6, I hope the process is
similar for your EI.
Let me know!

Hi all,
It's been pretty quiet here these days. Hope everyone is doing well.
I have a question/problem that's been ongoing for quite some time but I've
just been ignoring it.... sort of.
I have IE5.5. Occassionally, when I type in a URL, IE takes me to a totally
and completely different web site, almost always one that I've visited some
time in the past but not necessarily one that I've visited recently. I've
noticed that it happens more frequently (and almost constantly) if I haven't
emptied my cache in a while. This is definitely not a redirect that is
happening, atleast not one that is ordered by the site I'm trying to access.
Anyone have any ideas?
Pam
