address bar in taskbar

[kaushil]

hi all,

i'm using windows 2000 professional @ work and i can't get the address bar displaying on the task bar.

I know that you need to right-click on the task bar, select Toolbars and I should be able to select Address Bar... however, I can only select "Desktop", "Quick Launch" and "New Toolbar".

Any ideas why I can't get the Address Bar displaying in the task bar?


It's doing my head in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers,
Kaushil

Try heading to control panel > web > check the box to "show web content on my avtive desktop" > apply > O.K.
You may have to reboot afterwards to fully apply.

thanks for your reply Overclocked Doc... tired what you suggested but no luck!

Update: I have managed to figure out why the Address toolbar option was missing from available options.

When I added my account as a Admin (previously just a standard user) the option was made available... now the only real reason of why I think this happens is because the address bar in the task bar can double up as the "Run" in your start menu... I believe it's got to do with Group Policy...

Anyways... thanks for your help again.
