TIA! If the vertical bar to the left of the address text input box is not present, right click on an empty area on the toolbar and uncheck "Lock the toolbars". Place your pointer at the left side of the address text input box on the vertical bar so it becomes a double pointer. Press/hold down the left mouse button and it will change to another style of double pointer. Drag the address bar to where you want it and release the mouse button. If you have more than one toolbar on the same line, you may need to adjust the length of the toolbar(s) or move one or more to another position via the toolbars vertical bar. -- Brian A.

TIA! You might want to know that when you install SP3, no more address bar. P
Guest Sean.May Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Re: address bar? Sorry, I think you're a bit confused. I can get to your question after I go over some basics first to help you get faster answers in the future. First off, there is no such thing as Windows Office. The manufacturer of this software is Micro$oft, and you actually named two completely different products of MS as if they were one. To clarify, MS Office is an application suite that includes programs like Word, Excel and Outlook amongst a slew of others. There are different packages of MS Office, including different years. One common misconception came out when MS produced MS Office XP (basically MS Office 2002), and people got that confused with the new Operating System Windows XP (Home & Professional). To further confuse people, there's a version of MS Office called MS Office Professional Edition. Nevertheless, Micro$oft Office is not to be confused with Microsoft Windows. MS Windows refers to your operating system, which does NOT include ANY package of MS Office unless bundled with a retail computer company such as Dell or HP. Your operating system is basically the software backbone of your computer, and includes basic applications such as Internet Explorer, which brings us to your question. In which program are you having issues with your address bar? Internet Explorer? Or is this address bar located within' some other sort of program/toolbar? Are you sure it's an address bar, as in one that you can type a website into?

Here's one way: http://www.niversoft.com/downloads/xp-sp3-addressbar.zip There's no installer, but there are instruction on a txt file in the zip archive. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup

Assuming you don't have SP3, right click on your task bar/Tool bars and voila!, you'll see "Address". The OP is referring to that address bar. P
