If you have swapped your old Internet Explorer 4.0, which came with Windows 98, for the new Internet Explorer 6.0, you will have noticed that you can no longer enter the raw address windows-kompendium.de (or any other) in the address bar. In this case, the cumbersome MSN search appears, which not everyone wants - we have found out how you can easily work around this:
