Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / September 2008address bar in task bar is gone
I am running XP Home Edition Version 2002 SP 3. I believe this happenned when I installed the SP 3 download for Windows. The address bar disappeared at the bottom of my screen in the Windows Taskbar where the Quick Launch items are. The option to put it in by right-clicking in the task bar does not have the Address Toolbar as an option any more. Is that a result of the lawsuit or something? Is there any way to get it back? Any help would be appreciated. SP 3 removed the Address Bar. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > I am running XP Home Edition Version 2002 SP 3.

It's actually the browseui.dll file and it does work but I had a very difficult time doing it as it kept telling me the file was in use. I finally tried save mode, got the error, but it did copy. If you can get the file in there it will work. > Replace "C:\WINDOWS\System32\browserui.dll" with a version from SP2. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > lawsuit or something?

But isn't that almost always the case? Before I follow these instructions, however, I'd like to see if I can get back a feature that I liked even better than having the address bar in the task bar. At one time, I had Live Search in place of address bar in my task bar. I believe it may have been part of the Beta version of Live Search. And it was great...until I upgraded to IE 7.0. Then I lost it. Address bar was a big step down from Live Search but still far better than the 'nothing' that I have there now. Thanks in advance, PKHarmon > Replace "C:\WINDOWS\System32\browserui.dll" with a version from SP2. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > lawsuit or something?
