Repairing the Windows XP Taskbar, Address Bar.

[Bob ward]

Does anyone out there know how to get the Address Bar on
the Taskbar working again? Mine quit working and I get an
error message saying "there was a problem sending the
command to the application".

[xplanes]

I'm interested in this too. I had this happen again and I believe a long
time ago I was given a command to enter into the run box that fixed a
registry problem. I can type an addy into the one in IE, but the one
created for the desktop or taskbar does not work.

Thanks, I tried that after reading it in another post. It didn't help. :(

If I select an address from the dropdown list of ones that worked before, it
just loads a blank page and does nothing.

Lou,

Reinstalling or repairing IE may fix this.

I used the add or remove programs applet to remove IE and then I used it to
reinstall it. No luck. I didn't see an option for repair.

There is a very easy way to get rid of this

In Internet Explorer go:

tools>internet options>content (tab)>autocomplete (button)> and press 'clear
forms' and then 'ok'

Hi,

Also clear your Run and Recent Docs History:

Typed URL's: Start/Run/Regedit: Open your registry and find the key below
and delete any value you want to remove.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
TypedURLs

Clear Recent File Lists - Clears Search History
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/ClearRecent.Exe

Right click the Start Button/Properties/Customize/Advanced/Clear List.

Hi Alicia,

It's probably integrated itself into your system at this point. I would
download and run Adaware from www.lavasoft.de to help remove it and the
offending registry entries that cause it to keep coming back.
