???? Um, excuse me, but which versions of Windows
or IE does this work in. I'm using Win98 (not even SE)
with IE 5.5 / OE 5, and this is not working for me.
(Never has worked that way, that I can remember.)
I just tested this using <WindowsKey>-R which popped
up a "Run" whatever-it's-called, which doesn't show the
drop down list after I type "c:\".
. . . I started Windows Explorer, and its address bar does
work as you describe. But that keyboard shortcut doesn't.
Am I doing something wrong?
