Open files, folders, programs, bookmarks, browsing history, and more from your Windows taskbar with ease.
The MuvEnum Address Bar saves you time by making it super easy to quickly open files, folders, programs, websites, bookmarks, browsing history, web searches, and more from your Windows taskbar. When they removed the taskbar address bar from Windows XP SP3, we set out to recreate it. What we ended up creating was more than a replacement; we created the ultimate address bar for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 2000, 2003, and 2008 (x86 and x64) with support for hotkeys, additional browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, and/or Opera, keywords/aliases, themes, and a calculator.
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.
It works without problems

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.
Works great

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

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.
Summary
It just works.

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.

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

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.
