SP3 stole my address toolbar
Friday, July 11th, 2008For no apparent reason, I decided to upgrade my dinosaur-puter to Win XP SP3 last night. When I turned it on this morning, I was surprised to see that the address toolbar that I use in the Taskbar was nowhere to be found. I looked around and found out that the functionality had been removed due to legal reasons, something about too much IE integration into Windows. Obviously the integration still exists, all they did was get rid of this feature to make it seem less integrated.
However, after looking around some more, I found a way to get my precious address bar back:
1. Click and drag “My Computer” to the top or side of the screen or desktop. This creates a new toolbar.
2. Right click on the new My Computer toolbar and select Toolbar->Address
3. Click and drag the new “Address” bar to the Taskbar.
Stupid laws, always trying to infringe on my rights. or something.
