Disable new addressbar & searchbox feature of Windows 10 1909:
Windows 10 1909 aka 19H2 features an addressbar & searchbox which is wider than any before.
To restore the old searchbox & addressbar, from the 'Disbale Enable 1909 New Search' folder,
run the 'Disable New Search.cmd' file to disable & alternatively run the 'Enable New Search.cmd' file as administator to re-enable the new addressbar & searchbox.
