How do I get it so when I type KATG into the URL box it will go to KATG.COM. Yes, I am fucking lazy. I am trying to setup opendns.com right now. But, If memory serves, the last time I tried it I still had to type the .com in.
Thx, this has been pissing me off for like 3 months now.

In IE you can change the default search engine under tools>options. I have google set as default in both ie and firefox. I didn't see a default for searching from the address bar in firefox, but my google toolbar made it google for me. Firefox goes straight to katg.com and ie brings up search results, when google is set as the default search.
If you hold down control and hit enter in the address bar both firefox and ie will add the
http://.com for you (shift+enter for .net).
In firefox, when you type into the address bar it searches for the text in your bookmarks and lets you click on them. Switching from what you are used to is frustrating for a day or two but I highly recommend firefox if you're not already using it. The add ons for customizing the browser are amazing.
