There's a intranet website that I'm trying to access through IE, but each time I fill in the address, it just quickly refreshes to the page where I was before. So if I was on www.google.com, and typed in into the address bar 192.168.1.200, it would redirect me back to wwww.google.com.
I've tried accessing on Chrome, and it can load. The problem is I need to use IE, because the intranet page hosts a .NET application.
I finally had the idea of clearing the browser history.
This happened by coincidence as I was working on some .css changes at the time and those changes didn't seem to get reflected when reloading the page.
I cleared Temporary Internet files, Cookies and History. I assume clearing Temporary Internet files is what cured the problem.
I'll try to answer this question. OP is asking for "Chrome Application", it can be created from Chromes menu->More tools->Create application shortcuts.
Once click this shortcut(its different from .url) it will open the URL in chrome but without address bar, menu button etc.. Here is a screenshot, desktop application and chrome side by side.
So locating to address bar then ctrl+c wouldn't work. The only way I found, without an extension, is to use "View Page Source"(right click or Ctrl+U), with which, you get back to the standard chrome page with an address bar, then "ctrl+L, ctrl+C" will work, just need to remove the "view-source" from the copied content.

Ok I found out the issue. Sometime ago I installed spybot S&D and it added a list of blocked websites to IE settings, and for some reason the intranet page must have been captured by one of the wildcards. So I restored the IE settings to default, i.e. removed all blocked sites and now it works.
