Saving time and effort in typing URL addresses

Tired of typing long, cryptic Web addresses? Is "www" not among your most efficient typing patterns? No need to worry. With Internet Explorer 4.0, typing Web addresses is a breeze. Use the following tips to save time and finger power while you surf the Web.

• Type the domain of an address, such as Microsoft, and then press CTRL+ENTER. Internet Explorer automatically wraps "http://www....com" around what you typed.
• Not sure if the site uses a .com extension? Just type the domain of the address, and then press ENTER. Internet Explorer tries to find the site by using the various extensions.
• If you need to edit an address, you can use CTRL + LEFT ARROW and CTRL + RIGHT ARROW to easily move between different parts of the address separated by periods.
