Possible to get movable Address Toolbar back in Windows 8?

[Dblake1]

I know this may seem a bit farfetched, but since there is the "Address" taskbar toolbar, I was wondering if there was a way to get that to show as a toolbar in File Explorer itself. If you don't know about the toolbar I'm talking about, here: http://cl.ly/image/0Y2923091U3b

 

As I said, since it is a taskbar toolbar, I think it should be as simple as a registry edit; but since it's Windows 8, I doubt it would be that simple.

File Explorer has an address bar.  I take it that it isn't what you want.

 

Could you please describe in a bit more detail what it is you're trying to accomplish?  Is it that you want a path to show instead of the breadcrumbs?  That's doable via, for example, the Classic Shell package.

I believe he wants to be able to move it in the toolbar:

Edit: But after looking at the linked image, I'm no longer sure.
