XP Taskbar - Address Bar Seems To Be Unavailable

[Duncan]

I am trying to activate the address bar which works just fine on a number of
other xp machines that I use.

On this machine it does not appear on the list of available toolbars when i
try and change my taskbar properties.

Anyone know where it might be hiding????

Cheers,
D.R.

The address bar was removed in XP SP3. If you have installed SP3 then this
is probably the reason why.
Look at this thread to see why and how it is possible to get it back.

Thanks for that Martin, it was a very interesting thread with several
options and,by the look of it, a number of possible pitfalls.

I tried a temporary fix that works fine until reboot and will explore a
couple of the more permanent solutions shortly.
