CTRL + ENTER

Does Internet Explorer 7 not have the CTRL + ENTER shortcut, which adds on the "www." and ".com"?

How would I be able to add that shortcut into my Internet Explorer 7 because it isn't working on my IE7.

PLEASE tell me how you can

PLEASE tell me how you can stop Backspace moving you back a page - didn't any of the morons at Microsoft think that this could be annoying? You're deleting a typo, next minute you on another page and you've lost ALL YOUR WORK! Stupidest thing ever designed. It's called Backspace, not Move me back a page when I didn't ask you.

Agreed. How does one turn

Agreed. How does one turn this "backspace/back in history" function off? Not a good idea for people who type and browse.
