Typing wrong URL

[TheMajor]

is there any way to change the MSN search to google when you type a wrong URL in IE?

 

[justdoit]

type regedit in startup->run:
Then goto:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\search
Modify the value of CustomerSearch and SearchAssistant to whatever search engine you want

Questions? send me a PM or add me through ICQ or MSN.

[justdoit]

try this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Search Page"="http://www.google.com"
"Search Bar"="http://www.google.com/ie"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL]
""="http://www.google.com/keyword/%s"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search]
"SearchAssistant"="http://www.google.com/ie"

SearchURL should be this:
"http://www.google.com/keyword/%s"

NO double quotation marks

will you tell me what's ur default search engine is, Microsoft Engine??? cos some websites change your default search engines and very hard to change it ....
