Unlike in the early days, you don't have to type http:// in front of a web site address anymore. In some cases, you don't even have to type the www. either.
For example, to go to http://www.ChamisPlac.com/, you can just type www.ChamisPlace.com (or ChamisPlace.com) as the address. Most browsers will assume that you typed a WWW address.

If you drop down the "Location" (or "Address" in Internet Explorer) drop-down list box, you'll see a list of locations you've been to by typing their URLs. Here's how to get rid of those typed URLs from the history:
- Exit Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer
- Run "Registry Editor" (run "regedit.exe" or "regedt32.exe")
- If you're using Navigator 2.x or Navigator 3.x, select:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\
URL History
For Explorer 3.x or Explorer 4.x, select:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
TypedURLs
- Delete all the items (in the right side window) starting with "URL"
- Restart Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer

If you want to go back to a site that you just left (if your BACK function does not take you back there), try using the "Location" (or "Address" in Internet Explorer) drop-down list. Simply click on the down arrow of the Location/Address drop-down list and select the address of the site you want to re-visit.
