Thanks, that works a treat.
One thing, a logout / login as per instructions didn't make it available on
this system, a quick reboot was required.

You probably had more than one session open (with switch user
functionality) which kept one or more instances of Explorer in memory,
preventing the new DLL from being loaded.
Of course reboot will do, but a mere kill of all Explorer instances
using the Task Manager would do too. Logoff/logon is usually the
quickest clean way to do this.

Hi,
I'm a Vista user, but at work when I used Windows XP SP3 I also noted
the explorer Adress Bar to be gone.:eek:
It is very easy to get it back.:smile:
1. Right click and drag My computer from the startmenu, to the top of
the desktop so it formes a bar there.
2. Rightclick the newly formed bar > toolbars > adress bar
3. The adress bar does now exist in the my computer bar. Drag it to the
desktop.
4. Now drag it in its original position on the taskbar.
You will also note the Adress Bar option returned to your menu. 100%
fixed! :biggrin: Thank me later!

This solution is available everywhere on the web, but you forgot to
mention it vanishes after a reboot and has to be done again.

This is a great solution - thanks! All earlier functionality has returned:
- UNC paths work.
- URLs resolve into my default browser (Firefox) which completely
invalidates the "Legal Arguments" quoted elsewhere.
- Previously-defined "TweakUI" search shortcuts work
- EVERYTHING WORKS AGAIN without upsetting WFP
