XP Keyboard Shortcuts Taskbar Address Bar

[Shane]

Greetings,
I'm using Windows XP and have enabled the Address Bar in my task bar.
As an avid keyboarder, I tend to use Alt+Tab to cycle between programs and
Ctrl+Tab to cycle around my desktop and the like.
The one thing I want to do and haven't figured out how is to use the
keyboard to access the Address Bar on my taskbar. If I'm in Explorer or IE,
I just use Alt+D.

Is there a way to keyboard-shortcut to go to different toolbars on the
taskbar?

Thanks,

Shane

After pressing Crtl/Esc or the Windows key to open the Start Menu, the
first Tab moves you to the QL bar, second to the Taskbar, etc. Then the
cursor keys move you to different items within that section of the
Taskbar. If the Address Bar is just right of the Running Tasks, and you
have the QL bar, a quick WinKey, Tab, Tab, Tab should get you there.

Joe,
THANKS!
When I click Ctrl/Esc it opens the Start Menu, but then Tabs don't seem to
be cycling through for me, so I experimented and if I minimize all windows
(Windows+D), then simply hit Tab it cycles through my Desktop/Start
Menu/Taskbar/Addy Bar/Systray, which works great for me!

I'd been minimizing all windows, then using Ctrl+Tab to access the
Desktop/Start/Task/QL/Systray cycle, and never realized I could simply have
hit Tab to access the desktop, then tab tab tab for those areas....

I KNEW there HAD to be a way!

Thanks,

Shane
