Run dialog box shows ALL files/net shares/urls etc... why?!

[Curley_Boy 0]

Confusing one this

 

when I click start and then run and type a letter (say 'a') it shows all the files on my computers drives / network shares / typed web urls that being with 'a'.

 

For example:

 

file:///A:/BBC%20Boards.txt

 

or

 

http://www.autism-oasis.com/g.php?...

 

or

 

\Auto (the name of a folder on my 2nd HDD)

 

Is there a hidden feature in XP that I have unwittingly enabled? ;( Can anyone tell me how to turn this off?

i believe this is call autocomplete

 

the run box allows you to run programs, open files or load web pages

so it makes sense that they would have autocomplete there
