Is there a keyboard shortcut in windows explorer (windows 7), to put the cursor into the address bar (where the current path is shown)?

Found it, it's possible with the following two shortcuts:

  • Alt+D (selects the current path)
  • F4 (will put the cursor at the end of the current path and expand the dropdown list of the address bar).

BTW: here's a complete list of keyboard shortcuts in windows 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Keyboard-shortcuts

Those shortcuts also work on IE, and ALT+D works on all browsers. – paradroid Sep 8 '10 at 7:00
BTW,, if you accept your own answer, you get one of those bronze badges, I think. – paradroid Sep 8 '10 at 7:10

Alt+D doesn't work on non-English versions of Windows 7 (tried on Brazilian Portuguese and German, probably affects others). – muriloq Oct 25 '11 at 18:48

I can't verify this myself at the moment since I'm using Mac OS X, but this webpage suggests that Alt-D is what you're looking for (see section "Windows Explorer keyboard shortcuts").
