Well, with a bit of luck they've made it an option in IE6 (it wasn't

I've since found that it's user-controllable in Opera (umm, 7 I think
I'm using), but defaults to on.

A quick test just now (using Opera; the previous
time would have been IE
- version 4 probably - in a work environment) shows that this is still
the case. I'm not sure if it's Opera being clever and guessing at stuff
to stick on the front and end of whatever's in the address bar, or a
function of some transparent web proxy somewhere within my ISP.
I thought IE assumes you mean "www.kkk.com" if you just type in
"kkk", but
I just tested that theory and it didn't work in IE6. I was pretty sure it
used to work this way.
