Right-click beside the address bar, and uncheck "Address Bar" in the menu...

I think he wants just the 'addresss' text removed, not the whole thing.


I don't think thats possible.

Right click and hit "Customize" then down in the lower left hand side of the box, you can tell it to turn off the text labels.

This is only for toolbar icon text.

This comes with a warning. It can mess up your system if you do it wrong.

It worked on the "Address" text on my system (Windows XP Pro SP2), but not on the "Links" text as suggested in the same article.

There was a fix to remove the "Links" text, but you'd have to get rid of entirely. If I remember correctly.

Yes, xcorpion. In addition to Reshack, you will need to download the Replacer to replace protected files or system files in use. http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/
Make a copy of the file you want to edit and store it in a safe place. When you have edited a script in the string table with Reshack, be sure to click on another for the script to be compiled. Save the file in a temporary location and use Replacer to replace it. Reboot and see the changes.

RogueSqdn, please tell us what version (& version number) of Internet Explorer you are using with that option.

All that is unneeded... just right click on the "Address" label and uncheck "Show Title."

No such option on right click menu.
