Address Bar - XP SP3

[msnews.microsoft.com]

Having become accustomed to relying upon the address bar as a repository for
frequently accessed websites - kinda neat because additioinal sites appear
in new tabs, it has disappeared completely, even from the toolbar list!
This after loading XP SP3.

Is there a possibility of getting it back? I have done a search for the
folder, and there is nothing there.

Thank you both for your prompt & effective replies!

I replaced the ui dll in the win/sys32 folder & am back to using the address bar as originally intended.

Remember to study daily!

I went to this url, did what I was told by the kb article and I now have my addressbar toolbar back. It did not dissappear again after I restarted my computer as I`ve read has happened to some. If the addressbar toolbar has dissappeared purely as a result of the sp3 installation, you will not get either of the two the error messages indicated in this article.
I have followed the other links posted in these forum replies and finally found that this one gives the actual step by step process.


Happily living with sp3
