Web location addresses How to add

When you are looking for a site Internet will go to the most likely in Autoscan

But the list of Autoscan is small for example .com, .org .net

It is easy to add to the list but you have to go into the Registry

Before you start remember this is dangerous stuff and make a

System Restore point before starting

Also double check everything that you do before doing it.

Also make a back‐up of the Registry

Then Go to :‐

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/Internet Explorer/Main/Url Template Note how many there are and what! Now right click on URL > New > String Value > ( here type the next number after the ones displayed.)

Now Right click on the new value and select “ Modify”

If you wish to add .gov to the list now type :‐

“www.%s.gov” ( Without the quotes ) and Enter

You can add others if you wish but remember to increase the value

As an aside when the Autoscan is running it searches in the order of the strings i.e. “1” is searched for before “2” etc.
