Doing so will let you type in URLs and launch Web pages without first launching a browser. It will also let you launch some native Windows XP applications in much the same way as you would via the Run menu (so you could type in calc to launch the calculator or mspaint to launch Microsoft Paint. Here's how you add the address bar: Right-click on the taskbar, select Toolbars, and then click Address. The word Address will appear on your taskbar. Double click it to access it. If that doesn't work, your taskbar is locked. You can unlock it by right-clicking on the taskbar again and uncheck Lock the Taskbar. You may also need to grab the vertical dotted lines beside the word Address and drag it to the left to make the Address window appear This is a strange one:zdnet.com One company took the address bar off Explorer!

That's right my wife works for a national brokerage firm and their Internet Explorer on the company's network doesn't even have the address/search bar. She gets the company web page with links to all the company sanctioned sites (about 20.) Now that's control!! As a result, all the brokers pay for their own internet access outside the company net.computing.net Subject: How do you get the Address Bar back up?

Reply: open IE and then go to View,Toolbars, then check Address Bar. if this is checked then see if the Lock Tool Bar is checked. if it is uncheck it and see if you can drag open a space for the address line. if that does it then check lock tool bar and then this should not happen again. hope this helps....
