Add an Internet URL address Bar to Windows XP Taskbar
Windows XP Home and Professional

You can add an Internet URL address bar to your Windows XP taskbar. 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.
