The AutoFormat is the culprit, and while there are many ways of tackling this problem, the easiest is to use the ‘undo’ facility, because it does not interfere with anything else in your computer.
When you have typed the address and then entered a space, the hyperlink is made - go to the Edit menu and at the top you will see ‘Undo AutoFormat’ click and the address will lose its colour and the underlining

Internet Explorer Favourites
To arrange your favourites in alphabetical order select ‘Favourites’ from the Menu bar - note don’t use the button with a star.

PrintScreen Key
When the PrintScreen is operated nothing appears to happen, because all it does is it saves the graphic of the screen in the note pad. To be able to make use of this, you will need to paste it somewhere. The simplest option is to paste it into a Word document.
There you can work on it with the ‘Picture’ menu. If this menu is not showing, right click on the grey area on the task bar, and select it from all the other options.
