Expected Results:  
web page opening
It's completely unclear what's happening.

Why are you trying to enter tesco.com.com? Does it exist? I just did a check and
it doesn't.

When you enter "www.tesco[enter]" the browser will automaticly add .com.

http:\\www.tesco.com does not exist because it's malformed. URLs are formed with
http:// and not http:\\.

http://www.tesco.com will just work.
This isn't wrong behaviour, all slashes must go forward.
