Thank you Rey for the info, but I have already resolved that issue.

My concern is not that SP3 removed the address bar option from the task bar,
but that after applying the approprate hack of my choice (the one suggested
at the site your link took me to), only one of the four profiles on my XP
Home machine is able to restore the address bar option to the taskbar.

Hello,

I posted a question in the "Update" newsgroup requesting info on how to
get
the address bar option back on the taskbar after the Windows XP SP3
update
eliminated it.

I received links to various sites that offer solutions to my query as
well
as a polite notification that I posted to the wrong group.

The solutions offered were very helpful except for one slight hitch.

I could only get the address bar back in my profile which is an
administrator using any of the solutions.

None of the other accounts whether administrator or non-administrator
could
repeat the same success as in my personal account.

I even uninstalled the service pack and restored the computer to the way
it
was before which of course brought back the address bar everywhere.
I then reinstalled the service pack, and yet again only my profile could
restore the address bar.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thank you for your assistance in advance.

Peace,
