How can i prevent Windows explorer from opening my internet browser when I mistype something in the address bar?
For example, I often type Alt+d, cmd to quickly select the address bar and open cmd.exe in the current directory.
However, I often mistype, and hit cdm instead of cmd. This will open my default browser and search for cdm, and I deeply hate this. Sure, it only takes a couple seconds to go back, but that doesn't keep me from hating it.
I'm not interested in making links of my commonly mis-typed programs (which I have actually done already), e.g. create a link of cdm.exe that points to cmd.exe. I just want to turn this feature off, if possible.

You can't turn it off.
But you can enter command prompt by pressing Win+r and typing
cmd.There it doesn't open a website if you type it, just an error message.
