Address Bar in SP3

[Tom Hall]

I remember reading a while ago about XP's Service Pack 3 removing the
address bar from the taskbar. I just installed SP3 here and indeed the
address bar is gone.

Two questions: can someone tell me WHY it was removed, and is there any way
of getting it back - short of rolling back tp SP2?

address bar is gone.

Has it gone, or has it merely been disabled? Right click your taskbar,
hover over "Toolbars" and see if "Address" is in the list.

I don't use "Address", so I wouldn't notice the difference.

It was removed.
Gone for ever.
Why would anyone need an address bar at the bottom of the screen?

There is already a non-Microsoft utility to place the back.

Why would anyone need tray icons?
Why would anyone need the QuickLaunch toolbar with shortcuts?
Why would anyone need their own added toolbars with shortcuts?
Why would anyone need an address bar in Windows Explorer?
Why would anyone need an address bar in Internet Explorer when they
could use Start->Run and enter "<path>\iexplore.exe <url>"?
Why would anyone need a GUI desktop to run applications?

Why would anyone want or need SP3 - might be a better question.

"Why would anyone need an address bar in Internet Explorer"
I just use the address bar on ANY page

Thank you!

Now if only it had a history list. The only URL in the bar seems to be the
one last inputted.
