Computer Tips, Tricks, Tweaks and Tutorials - Opening a Location or Webpage much Faster with the Address Bar.

Most people open a webpage with double clicking the IE button on their desktop or via start. Then when IE starts you’ll first get your default homepage and then you’ll have to open the page that you really want. The same goes for a location on your hard disk on in your network. As you can understand; this takes up unnecessary time. There is a method in Microsoft XP and Vista to really speed this up.

To open up a Location or Webpage with the address bar you’ll need to take the following steps.

First you’ll need to right click on a blank area of your taskbar.
The shortcut menu will open.
Then select Toolbars.
And mark the Address Bar.

Now you see the word Address in your taskbar.

Here you can type the web page address directly and press enter and your default browser will automatically start with the address that you’ve typed in the Address Bar.

To remove the Address Bar from your taskbar you’ll just need to do the same thing but then uncheck the Address Bar in your shortcut menu.
