Stackhaus Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Anyone know how to place an address bar on the desktop itself? Not a toolbar, but actually on the desktop? Just thinking about the possibilities of removing the taskbar entirely cause the only things I use now days are the address bar and a few instances of Short Pop Up in the Quick Launch. If I could put the address bar on the desktop, and move those SPU Shortcuts, then I could remove the Taskbar altogether.

Colin-uk Veteran Posted October 3, 2004 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2004 only thing i could think of is make a html with a "address bar" on it and then use it as an active desktop... ?

Phrozty Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 If your taskbar is unlocked you can just drag the address bar off it onto the desktop. Not sure if it disappears if you get of the taskbar though.

Stackhaus Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 Yeah I think the HTML thing might be my only choice. Now, how the hell do you get an address bar into a webpage, that's my next task!

The Burning Rom Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 You can do it with DesktopX, and you could probably do it with an AveDesk widget as well.
