When typing a bad directory name into a Windows Explorer address bar it loads an IE error page instead of showing a simple error message (unlike when typing a bad directory into the Run dialog, which does the right thing). Is there a way to prevent this IE-handling and just have it show a simple error window?

I know, it's time to get a decent file manager instead of explorer.exe, but it's a chore I'll leave for another day...

Won't swear to this, but it might be the Explorer Folder Options "Use Web Style" is ticked. I use the Classic/Custom, so mine doesn't react that way (different message).

Thanks. But of course I don't use "web style" but customized classic! :)
