MuvEnum Address Bar Replaces The Quick-Launching Taskbar In XP SP3
10:00PM Kevin Purdy | Windows only: Service Pack 3 for Windows XP removed the ability of that operating system’s users to keep a quick-launching address box on their taskbar session after session. MuvEnum Address Bar aims to address that shortfall, but also adds a few neat conveniences to the package. There’s a customizable global hot key (Ctrl + Shift + A by default), bookmarks and history pulled from Internet Explorer, Firefox, and/or Google Chrome, auto-complete convenience, and a key to clear out MuvEnum’s history without wiping out your browser’s.

Check out its single, helpful options screen below. More »
