Version History:

• Added Save, Cancel, and Restore Defaults buttons to the options dialog.
• Added Clear History button to the options dialog to allow the users to clear the Internet Explorer/Windows Explorer/MuvEnum Address Bar (they all share the same history) typed url history; works the same as the Delete Browsing History in Internet Explorer.

• Added support for enabling inline autocompletion (tab is not supported; you will need to use the arrow keys instead).
• Added floating toolbar support.
• Added the ability to hide the Options button. Also added support for opening the options by typing options into the address bar and hitting enter. How else you would get to the options dialog if you had hidden the button? 
• Added support for a global (system wide) hotkey to set focus to the MuvEnum Address Bar. In my own use of the original address bar, this was a very wanted but missing feature. It can be disabled. It defaults to enabled and to the shortcut combination of CTRL+SHIFT+A.
• Added support for ESCAPE for closing the options dialog.
• *Added support for typed urls adding to the history, used in IE and the address bar).
• *Added support for a specified search engine (default search): regedit:(HKEY_CURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\) Key - (Default) , value: http://www.google.com/search?q=%s where %s is replaced by the text typed in the address bar.
• *Added support for the title “Address” to be shown in the front of the address bar. It can be removed by unlocking the taskbar, right-clicking on the toolbar and unchecking “Show Title”.
• *Added the “search for” option to the autocomplete box.
• *Added support for moving through the auto-completion list using up and down arrow keys. See http://muvenum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=946&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a for why tab completion was not able to be added.
• *Added support for environment variables.
• *Added support for opening favorites by their shortcut name.
• *Added support for opening system locations (example: “My Computer”, “My Documents”).

• Fixed the “search for” option in the auto-complete list showing an error instead of opening the page when the user didn’t have an IE SearchURL setup in the registry.
