address bar disappeared

[Don Varnau]

Hi,
Right-click the IE toolbar and unlock it then start moving other items
around. The Address Bar may be hiding behind another toolbar.

If unsuccessful with that, download and run (right-click> merge) the REG
file IEToolbar.reg at http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ie/autotkit.htm
Look for this paragraph:
"If that does not help, reset the Toolbar position in the registry using
this REG file."

Hope this helps,

The address bar On my IE6 disappeared even though address bar entry under
the View button is checked. Will appreciate you assistance.

Moving items around (which items?) did not work.
The URL you provided requires purchasing a program that repairs the
registry. Is that what you meant?

F11 made all bars to disappear. F11 made the bars to reappear but not the
address bar

it is possible it is scrunched up against another tool bar.
you need to right click , make sure lock is not ticked. and then look carefully for a double wide vertical bar that might indicate the bars are so close together that you cannot see both of them.

"Grab" the bottom edge of the IE toolbar with your cursor | "Push" it up as
far as it will go | "Pull" it down as far as it will go | Now "push" it up
as much as needed for all toolbar components to display as you wish. If you
then need to rearrange some components, unlock the toolbar by right-clicking
on an empty area of it; lock the toolbar when you're finished.

Hi,
I tried to be very specific with:

If unsuccessful with that, download and run (right-click> merge) the REG
file IEToolbar.reg at http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ie/autotkit.htm

*** Look for this paragraph ***
"If that does not help, reset the Toolbar position in the registry using
this REG file."

There is no charge for the REG file.

Well, the same URL yesterday brought a different site which tried to sell

me
A registry repair program.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

Well, the same URL yesterday brought a different site which tried to sell

A registry repair program. Meanwhile the problem was solved by pulling
down
the bottom border of the bars section which revealed the address bar.

Thanks anyway

Thanks. nothing was scrunched up but I "revealed" the address bar by pulling down the lower edge of the bars border.
