Guest it-support Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I have a incredibly annoyong erro on two XP machiones Ive never seen before. When I type something into the adress bar of an explorer window to go to a new location, half way through while I am typing the address bar reverts to show the address of the current showing directory. For example, lets say I have an explorer window open in the directory c:\program files: I click the address bar (which now empties and is ready for input) and I want to type in (for example) \\f00-address\c$. What happens then is that after I type "\\f00-a" (approximately) the address bar will revert back to show "c:\program files" with selected text. Since I am still writing and this text is selected I will overwrite this with the rest of the address. When I am done typing and hit enter this is what is in the address bar "ddress\c$". This retarded error occurs on two separate computers with completely different sets of software. Its driving me nuts because its impossible to search google for a solution on a address bar that is not working, and my computers are more or less useless with this function gone. I would appreciate some help on this, thanks!

Guest George Hester Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Re: Adress Bar in Explorer constantly reverts back to old adress (NOT Why don't you post the issue you think you know that solves the issue? Or better yet solve it instead of telling the op you have seen it solved before which is really a cop-out you know. Oh by the way I think the the issue of the excluded middle has achieved a world-wide consenses. At least that is what I have seen before on some newsgroup. -- George Hester ________________________________ "Newbie Coder" <newbiecoder@spammeplease.com> wrote in message news:#gNAdBWxHHA.3588@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Michael, > > The same issue was addressed a few weeks ago as someone had exactly the same > error > > -- > Newbie Coder > (It's just a name) > > "Michel S." <NoSpam@msn.com> wrote in message > news:mn.6a727d77eae2b56d.33676@msn.com... > > My understanding is that OP is talking about WINDOWS explorer.. > > > > Can't see why he should seek for help in IE forum only.. > > > > > > > IT Support, > > > > > > IE questions should be posted in the IE newsgroup as you'll get a > > > better reply: > > > > > > microsft.public.internetexplorer.general > > > > > > > http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=m icrosoft.public.internetexplorer.general > > > > > > -- > > > Newbie Coder > > > (It's just a name) > > > > Really ? > > > > > >
