In the old days of Internet explorer, while it loaded up I could press
ALT+D and start typing in the address I wanted to go to and press
enter.  When it finished booting up it would go there.   But in
version 6 (and 5), it resets the cursor to the beginning of the
address field part way through the load.  Any way to turn this
annoying "feature" off?

Since you guys are the websearching experts, thought you may have a tip.

Hi nucifra,

See if this works for you -

Go to IE Tools / Internet Options / Advanced Tab / Browsing section.  
Clear the box: Use inline autocomplete in web browser.

It may also help to do this:
Go to IE Tools / Internet Options / Content / Auto Complete.
Clear the box: Web Address

Hi Hummer,  Unfortunately those don't do the trick.  But the answers
by AZ67 and AZRON work great - can't believe I never thought of that!

Thanks everyone, for the tips.

My browser loads quicker than I can blink, so
I can't even tell the 'feature' exists.

Go back to an earlier version of IE.

Well, useful so far.... :)

I have the Address toolbar on in my taskbar, so if I want to go to a
site while IE is not yet running I just type it in there and it loads
and goes right to the page I want.

You could also do:

Start / Run

and type the address in the window, with the http:// , and as long as
IE is set as your default browser, you will be taken to the page you
want.
