    You may already know this..Type address(the address you want to go to)and then type "ctrl+enter" to append .com to the end and www to the beginning..

    Example1:-if i want to go to www.neopets.com i would type only neopets then press "ctrl+enter"..try it in your browser(it works with any address ending with .com)

    Example2:-But if i want to visit www.neofriends.net then i would type neofriends and press "shift+enter"..Again it works with any address ending with .net..

    Example3:-If i want to visit www.wikipedia.org then i would type wikipedia and press "crtl+shift+enter"..It works for any site that ends with a .org..

    One pointer is that you should only type the name of the address wihtout www prefixing it..else above method wont work!!

    Example4:-You should not type www.neopets and then press "ctrl+enter"..it will not work(it will just try to go to www.neopets and it will fail)

    This tip is true for any browser that you may use(IE,FF etc)!!

    That's a cool trick.. it takes me longer to hit the buttons instead of just typing the rest of it out so I probably won't ever use it though :lol:

    Kudos for the info though!!

    It should work on any laptop!!

    You did like this right..

    Type "google"(or any site that ends with a .com)in your address bar then hold ctrl(control button on your laptop keyboard)and press the enter button..

    Do you have a mac notebook???
