![]() ![]() Ok, i have the file from exbrit, and now im' trying to replace in the windows/system32 folder. If I find that any future SP3 updates remove that functionality, I'll just remove the update. It's just a form of extortion or blackmail to get people to move to buggy Vista. If that were the case, Vista's SP would have no address bar. That's a really stupid move and I don't buy this "legal" *** about why it was removed one bit, nobody does. The permanent fix for this for me was simply replacing the browseui.dll file with the one from SP2. If that doesn't work after reboot then it's pretty useless. ![]() Check that, uncheck the toolbar that you created so Address is the only Toolbar left, and drag it back into the Taskbar. Now right-click the new toolbar, then Toolbars | (and lookie there, "Address" is an option now!). right-click taskbar | Unlock the Taskbar, then right-click taskbar | Toolbars | New toolbar |, drag it off the Taskbar The only difference with this toolbar is that it suggests items that are indexed on your computer as you type rather than the websites/locations you’ve visited in the past.Įasiest fix ever - don't bother hacking the registry, installing alternative programs, or bringing back old versions of dlls. Into the Windows Search Deskbar’ toolbar and those entries produce identical results to the old Windows Address toolbar from what I found while using it. ‘C:\Windows\’ – loads explorer with the C:\Windows folder in view ‘’ – loads google in default browser/tabs ![]() ‘\\serverName\e$\Software’ – Launches UNC Explorer window Solution: Use the ‘Windows Search Deskbar’ although it is not documented much, you can type things like the following: Strangely I’ve heard Vista SP1 still has the address toolbar option (can someone verify this?). I also don't ever understand the bundle arguments for IE anyway, how do companies such as Mozilla and Opera propose to have users install their browsers if the PCs that come with a new computer have no web browser at all and nothing but a CLI ftp client?įor future reference, if you yourself use the ‘Address toolbar’ (I love being able to load websites from the start bar avoiding the home page, et cetera) on the start bar-this ‘Address Toolbar’ feature has been removed as an option as of SP3 RC2-maybe RC1, maybe all versions of SP3. I really don't understand this change, and it will keep me (an IT professional) from ever deploying or recommending XP SP3. This is actually my primary use of the bar. The address bar (just like the run bar) can be used for much more that bringing up addresses in IE, such as running commands or opening documents. How can something that is really only used by power users impact perceived "integration" to the average user?Ĥ. The address toolbar was never enabled by default (I don't know many people that even use it). This means that IE is no less integrated into the system than it was before.ģ. ![]() The address bar has the exact same functionality as going to start->run or Start-R key command, neither of which has been removed. This also means that having the address toolbar or not has NOTHING to do with IE anti-trust complaints (not in terms of what may be listed in actual reports but in terms of function and usage).Ģ. This means if you choose to use a browser besides IE, it would be integrated instead of IE. When opening pages via the address bar, the default web browser is used. Here are a few reasons this change makes no sense:ġ. This is how a customized tray clock looks.In my opinion this is completely absurd. 7+ Taskbar Tweaker has an option to show seconds in the notification area clock Note that if you are using a less powerful machine or a mobile device, it's better to not display seconds. Check it and instantly, seconds will be shown too. In the rightmost column, you will see the option called "Display seconds on the tray clock". Well that's it! If all you wanted to do was this, then you don't need third party clock apps.īonus tip: You can make the Taskbar time show the seconds too using 7+ Taskbar Tweaker, which we covered recently. For example, to switch to a 24 hour clock, type HH:mm:ss and remove the 'tt' notation. For changing the time you can use the same trick to change the format, but instead of changing 'Short time', change the Long time to see the change on the Taskbar.You get the new Date format in the taskbar instantly!.I changed it to ddd, d MMM yyyy and clicked Apply. For English (United States), the short format is M/d/yyyy. There you will see the notation of the short and long date formats and a preview of how it shows. On Windows 8.1 and Windows 8, this is just called Region. On Windows 7, locate Region and Language and open it.Open Control Panel using any of these methods. ![]()
