Not sure about in IE 5.x, but in 6 you can go to Internet Options, Advanced, and almost at the very bottom is "Search from the Address bar". You can change this to be "Do not search from the Address bar". I, too, was alarmed when IE suggested other sites I should visit instead of showing me a real error message. dave -----Original Message----- From: Syzop To: vuln-devat_private Sent: 8/27/01 9:15 PM Subject: Micro$oft wants to dominate the world!?? <snip> When you type a non-existing domain name in internet explorer you get redirected to some auto.search.msn.com thing.... I don't know when this was introduced, but AFAIK this was in IE5 and not in IE4... Anyway, normally you get some (stupid) general error page (from your local hd?).. but now you really get a page online: </snip>
