Re: Windows XP SP3 -> No More Address Toolbar

The Address toolbar no longer appears on the taskbar after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3

The strange thing for me is that in Windows Vista SP1, the Address bar is still available and fully functional. So that makes me wonder, exactly which "issue" was raised by a "regulatory agency" that applies to the Address toolbar in Windows XP but doesn't apply to the Address toolbar in Windows Vista??
i guess it's related to the broohaha over IE etc
