- DISCUSSION
The list of sites in Internet Explorer’s address bar is controlled through a utility called Auto Complete. For example, if you were to type www.c in the address bar, all sites that you have previously visited that start with the letter “c”, such as www.ctcd.edu, will appear in a drop down menu below the address bar. This is a handy utility to use to if you visit many different Web sites.
