"Misinformation about User Reviews"
Version: MuvEnum Address Bar 5.1.0.0
Pros
I haven't tried it yet.
Cons
I wanted to test this product, and the page above said there were 21 user reviews. When I went to read the user reviews, the lower half of the page said there were zero.
Summary
Why would I try a product that claims to have a 4/5 star rating, but no one has actually rated it yet. If "21 user reviews" turns out to be zero user reviews, I'm automatically distrusting.

"Must Have for XP SP3"
Version: MuvEnum Address Bar 3.8
Pros
Ideal for permanent taskbar useage.
Cons
**** none ****
Summary
I use website specific shortcut search aliases all the time ala Firefox keywords, so having an address bar makes this old Norton Commander command line junkie happy.
Enter any search string from the IE address bar into a special search with Tweakui and reuse it anytime. So, g=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s Then I just type "g some search" without quotes and have my answer right away...
The MuvEnum Address Bar restores this functionality to SP3, removed by Microsoft in a typical fit of pique. Glad to have it back. -
"It works without problems"
Version: MuvEnum Address Bar 3.8
Pros
I can go directly to a requested site
Cons
Dont have use of past entries
Summary
When MS, in their all knowing eye, decided not to use the address bar, I was quite disressed. I used it quite often and instructed my students to use it,, Then alas, it was no longer available.

"It does what it needs to do"
Version: MuvEnum Address Bar 3.5
Pros
It works like you're used to do with the 'old' Windows adress-bar
Cons
(if it is a con:) At startup of windows it always shows the defaukt adress of "http://www.muvenum.com/". However it's free-ware and this is the only 'commercial' vissible on your PC
Summary
Since windows removed it's adress-bar is this a very great alternative. I'm not aware of other programs with identical results but as long this works well, I don't feel the need for change.

"Great Replacement for what Microsoft Took Out"
Version: MuvEnum Address Bar 3.5
Pros
Upgraded to Svc Pack 3 and lost my Address Bar that I used all the time. MuvEnum's Address Bar replaced it and works just fine.
Cons
I used to be able to type search items into the address bar and it would default to my search engine (Google). The MuvEnum bar doesn't seem to do that. But that's not a deal breaker. I'm very happy with it.

"It just works."
Version: MuvEnum Address Bar 3.5
Pros
Easy install, a little more capability; same ease of use.
Cons
Hitting "enter" doesn't get you to the site. You have to click the Go arrow.
Summary
Perfect replacement. I f you depended on the address toolbar until the knuckleheads at Microsoft dropped it, this will serve quite nicely.

"love it! great program."
Version: MuvEnum Address Bar 3.5
Pros
much better than the previous address bar. each feature is helpful. it's almost a perfect tool. i would purchase it if it was priced.
Cons
tweak ui in conjunction with muvEnum doesn't work with vista.
Summary
i use the product on a constant basis. especially with tweak ui. the ease of use, the versatility, the convenience, etc. each feature was given meticulousldesign.

"Very good program"
Version: MuvEnum Address Bar 3.5
Pros
I like that it pulls browser history from multiple browsers and that it is very close in behavior to the original Windows XP version of the Address toolbar.
Cons
I don't like that it does not default to using the last URL, but instead points you to moveenum.com. It should have the option to NOT use browser history and allow you to keep a separate list as you type the URLs into the bar.
Summary
Overall, it's a very good product. I do wonder if some of the browsed pages are sent to another site because it seems to take longer to get to URLs than XP's Address toolbar.
