How to get the address bar back after SP3 takes it away

One of the optional toolbars that you can enable on Windows XP (and Vista) is the address bar, which is handy for typing in a URL without first opening up the browser. You can add it to your taskbar by right clicking and selecting Toolbars | Address. Or at least, you could - prior to installing the latest service pack. However, if you've installed SP3, you might notice that you no longer have that option when you right click. Apparently the EU deems this to be a violation of their antitrust ruling. Well, I'm not in the EU and I want that option back. Luckily, there's a way to get it, but you'll need to replace the version of the browserui.dll file installed by SP3 with one from SP2. Copy it from an XP system that doesn't have SP3 and put it on the c: drive, then do the following:

  1. Restart the SP3 computer in Safe Mode (press F8 at bootup and select Safe Mode with Command Prompt option.
  2. At the command prompt, type this: xcopy c:browserui.dll c:WindowsSystem32
  3. Reboot the computer.

"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt" error

If you try to start a Windows XP computer and get an error that says "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt" with a path that points to a file named Isapnp.sys, it's usually because this driver is damaged or has been deleted or moved. You can use the recovery console to replace the Isapnp.sys file and fix the problem. For step by step instructions on how to do that, see KB article 315311 at

The XP SP3 vicious reboot cycle

SP3 is finally out, but some folks are reporting that after installing it on some computers, the system goes into continuous reboot mode. This happens because something in SP3 (on some hardware configurations) causes the computer to crash during the boot process and the OS is set to automatically reboot after a crash. This recently happened to Jesper Johansson, a fellow Enterprise Security MVP, and his blog contains an excellent discussion of what the problem (s) might be and what to do about it:

How to get the Run command back in Vista

You probably know by now that you can run a program in Vista just by typing the executable in the Search bar, but some people want the old command that opened up a Run dialog box, primarily because it saves a history of what you had typed in previously. That can be handy if you have a hard time remembering the names of those commands. You might also know that you can bring up that Run dialog box with a keyboard shortcut: Win + R. But if you don't have a keyboard with the Windows key or if you're a clicker rather than a typer, you can easily reinstate the Run option on the Start menu:

  1. Right click Start and select Properties
  2. Click Customize
  3. On the Customize Start Menu dialog box, put a checkmark in the box labeled "Run command."
That's all there is to it.
