This has to be one of the biggest annoyances in IE6.

I go to hit Ctrl+F to mark a section of text and wind up with
unwanted websites on my Favorites list.

Please MS, give us an option to disable this "feature" without
resorting to manual key remapping.

Whoops, I meant "find" not mark.

First eliminate any spyware.

Spyware has zilch to do with this. Ctrl+D is one of IE6's
built-in "features", and I'm asking for possible/easiest ways
of disabling it -- and asking MS (if they check in here) to
please add an option to disable it.
