This article was previously published under Q175183 SYMPTOMS
When you view a shell folder in Internet Explorer 4.0 and then click the
Address box to load a Web page in your history, your namespace appears in
the Address box instead of a list of your most recently visited Web pages.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, load a Web page by typing a valid Web
address in the Address box. Once the Web page is loaded, your most
recently visited Web pages appear when you click the Address box.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
A shell folder is a resource on your local hard disk or local area network
(LAN) that can be accessed using the "File:" protocol (for example,
"file://c:\windows" or "file://\\<path>\webpage.htm," where <path> is the
full universal naming convention (UNC) path to the Webpage.htm file). When
you view a shell folder in Internet Explorer 4.0, your namespace appears
in the Address box instead of a list of your most recently visited Web
pages.
