I'm an address bar kind of guy.  I constantly type in command line or web site urls.  Start -> Run is just not as convienent.  I don't do much Microsoft-bashing but I don't really see the logic in taking away the address bar in the Windows XP SP3 update when it is still available on other Windows-based OSs. It is supposedly due to an anti-trust ruling (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/6748d140-cde9-4705-9612-7013a6bcd910/)...but I digress.

Thankfully our friends over at muvenum.com have created a free app called MuvEnum Address Bar to replace this feature.  You can find the download here:  http://www.muvenum.com/products/freeware/

I've been running this tool on my personal laptop since Windows XP SP3 came out.  I am installing it this morning on my client desktop workstation (XP SP3 is in the process of being rolled out here).  

cheers
