Okay, so now the address bar is searching

[damon2]

Well I don't know quite how this happened, but now when I start to type in a url in the address bar it starts to fill it in for me, of course it doesn't always complete a url

examples
I type "h", it completes h:\ (yes I have an H drive)

I type "u" it completes u.S. Access Board which can be found in documents and settings\owner\favorites. If I continue to type after that appears in the address bar, by adding a "t" (ut) the address bar changes to "utilities" which is a folder on my desktop

If I type in a "2" it completes "2008" again a folder on my desktop, if I hit the enter key it opens the folder in IE and shows me the contents of it

If I type "s" I get "search.freefind.com/" which when I hit enter brings me to this URL http://www.freefind.com/ neither of which are bookmarked, nor do they look the least bit familiar. A search of my computer using the Win search function does not find any reference to this in any folder
If I continue to type so it says "safety" it does not bring up the folder of that name which can be found in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents. If I hit enter it tries to find a URL named safety, and I get the Page Cannot be Displayed Message

so clearly it's not searching through my whole computer, it seems to be only searching the desktop and favorites and somewhere else as if I type
moz I get mozy.com. Which I have visited, a search of my computer shows a cookie from the site and the software I downloaded but have yet to install, this file can be found in a desktop folder as well.

Any thoughts on how to stop this? It wasn't doing it yesterday. Of course IE has been acting oddly today when I open it it crashes once or twice then works fine. The only things I am aware of that were done are a defrag of the registry (was crashing before that) and yesterday install of new MS patches. Of course when asked the 21 year old said nope, I didn't use it.
