I am an internet explorer 6 user. I very often go to some sites. Every time when I want to open it, I have to type whole address. I saw at the neighbors machine that he just type few first letters and he get pull down menu with addresses which names starts with it. We both have XP OS. Why my internet explorer do not acting like his?

Because you did not set option for save history in it. To do that, open your browser, click on tools, then internet options. There is part History. Enter number of days to keep pages in history. (Here you clear history clicking on same button good to know). Then click apply, and then Ok.
History of your browsing is saved in folder History. To get there, open Documents and settings, open user. Local settings folder is hidden folder, so, to see it click on Tools, then folder option, then view and in hidden files and folders check show hidden files and folders. Click apply, then ok. Now, open local settings, then open history folder. You will see that there are all your history data.
