Make Autocomplete complete more

By: Arie Slob

The AutoComplete function uses a template stored in your registry when autocompleting URLs you type. By default the template is made up of www.%s.com, www.%s.org, www.%s.net and www.%s.edu. By adding more templates, you can make Autocomplete even more useful:

  1. Start the Registry Editor
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main \ UrlTemplate
  3. Right-click an open area in the right pane and select New > DWORD Value
  4. Name it the next highest free number (by default 1-4 are there, so the next would be 5)
  5. Double-click the entry and add the value's you want to add. You can use:

    • www.%s.gov, www.%s.mil
    • %s.com, %s.org, %s.net, %s.gov, %s.mil

  6. Close the registry editor, and restart Internet Explorer
