Every Found yourself at alphanova.co.uk?

Have you ever tried going to your CRM implementation by typing in crm into an iexplore address bar and found yourself being redirected to http://www.alphanova.co.uk/?

It turns out you've discovered a feature of Internet Explorer you may not have known about. You'll probably find that you have a Pop-up Blocker enabled on your browser so you're holding down the Ctrl key whilst you hit Enter to browse to the CRM page.

The Ctrl-Enter combination is a feature that adds a www. and .com to the address you've typed in the browser. For example if you type google into the address bar and then hit Ctrl-Enter it will populate the address bar with www.google.com and navigate to that page.

As a result the same thing happens when you type in CRM and hit Ctrl-Enter, you are then taken to www.crm.com which is registered to http://www.alphanova.co.uk/.
