Put the Internet Explorer Address Bar on your Windows XP taskbar!

 If you'd like to have quick access to Internet Explorer's Address bar without having to open the application, you can customize Windows XP's taskbar to include one.

Right-click on the taskbar and make sure the Lock The Toolbar option is deselected. Next, select Toolbars from the menu and then choose Address. An Address bar appears in your taskbar, which operates exactly the same as in Internet Explorer.
