Fixing Address Bar in Win XP SP3

While I understand they need to obey the law, I can't help being a little angry, because I want this awesome feature back! So, I did some digging and found a free download that will bring this function back. Oh yeah!
Just in case you're not familiar with the address bar feature, this is what it used to look like:

Here's how you can get it. First, download the program right here. Second, run the file you've just downloaded and click on the Next button to get through the steps. (Note: The creator of the program will ask you for a money donation, but it's not necessary to give one if you don't want to).
After installing the program, right click on your taskbar, go to the Toolbars menu and select the MuvEnum Address Bar option. Here's what it looks like:
