IS there a way to change what search page IE uses if the address doens't exist? Maybe by editing the registry? If so how?

Thanks

This might help:

It shows you how to change the "page cannot be displayed" pages etc, which I think is what you mean.

I haven't tried the instructions though, and so I dont know how useful they are :roll:

Yum, registry.

no, i like the the page cannot be displayed errors. But before i used to get them when a site doesn't exist but now it uses the stupid msn search which i don't like

Well at least i could change it to google rather than msn

ty (although i hate editing the regestry as i know i will mess somthing up

)

Edit: Just checked and they all seem to be right anyway

have you tried tools > options > advanced and looking under 'search from address bar'?
