I exist only in my own mind ...
Caveats:
1. Only tested in ie7, but probably works in ie6
2. This will edit thr registry, so make sure you can restore it!
3. This is done at your own risk!!!!!!

open ie and enter mybroadband in the address bar then hit cntrl+enter. It willautomatically create the http://www. in the front and add .com behind. you may want to change this, which can be done by changing the registry.

copy the text below between the markers and create an file x.reg from it. Run x.reg to alter the registry. Open ie and type mybroadband in the address bar and hit cntrl+enter

====================copy================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\QuickComplete]
@=""
"QuickComplete"="http://www.%s.co.za"
====================end copy================
 
um, ff doesn't change it to co.za automatically, but yeah, you probably wouldn't need to fluck with the registry to get it to do that instead...
nice tweak :D
