Create a folder named test (whatever the name actually) on your desktop, open Internet Explorer and type the name of the folder in the URL bar.. surprise !

But a genius in the IE team assumed that I would like to search in my Desktop for a folder and open it in first place.

That's excellent! I just made a folder called "microsoft.com" on my desktop. When I opened IE7, and typed in microsoft.com, it decided to open the folder on my desktop instead of microsoft.com. I'm using Vista. Wow indeed.
