preventing Windows Explorer address bar from searching

[Guest Ideas Live]

If I have a Windows Explorer window open and just want to go to a specific

directory, I'm used to just typing in the address bar, for example

"c:\temp". But when I do this, Windows is trying to guess what I'm

searching for. This always messes up what I'm typing. I type "c:\temp",

then after a couple of seconds, the address bar shows "c:\" or "My

Documents". I don't want Windows to do this for me. I just want to specify

a directory myself.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Brian

Uncheck the box before use Inline Autocomplete. In Internet Explorer

select Tools, Internet Options, Advanced to locate the setting to be

changed.

Thanks, that helps, although the setting I was looking for was "Search from

the Address Bar". Found it.

Re: preventing Windows Explorer address bar from searching

 

The setting you refer to is for Internet Explorer forms. I'm trying to

prevent search in the address bar of Windows Explorer, not Internet

Explorer. Even after changing the "search in address bar setting", it still

is going back to "My Documents" when I try to type a path.

Using Kerio by any chance?

Yes, I am. Wow, I never would have found that one! I also found this great

Explorer replacement though:
