IE7, Vista Can't Paste URL Into IE

Curious behavior. IE 7, Vista Business. I have a text document open in
Notepad. I copy a url from the text document. Then I open IE and try to
paste it into the url address bar but nothing gets pasted into the address
bar. The only thing that happens is the currently displayed url (the one
before the paste attempt) simple disappears. It's like I pasted a blank url.

Any thoughts appreciated.

It's probably the wrong datatype.

Can you paste into a Notepad window instead?
If so, recopy the text from it. Then you will be able to paste
into the Address bar.

How are you copying? Ctrl-C?
