address bar

[Art]

I lost the address bar. I press View, Toolbars, Address
Bar and still no address bar.

Thanks for your help.

Heh, I've lost my address bar as well. The only thing that
I have done out of the ordinary, was respond to a msg
from PA Bear about turning off the "View all messages
as plain text" and I used Internet Explorer for the first
time in 6 months to connect to a Microsoft meeting.

The address bar is missing in Explorer.exe and Internet
Explorer. AdAware reports no problems.

This problem started happening after one of the two
events above as far as my best guess can tell.

I've already tried Kelly's program...

That didn't work...

Hmmm... just gave myself another idea to search for
"missing address bar" instead of "hidden address bar".

Ahhh! There we go...

Click Start, Run and type REGSVR32 /i BROWSEUI.DLL
Reboot.

That fixed it. Hope that helps you Art.

Have you tried bringing up Windows Explorer, and choosing
View|Toolbars|Address Bar? That menu option should have a checkmark
beside it. If there's no checkmark, then click it.

Thanks, Tim.

I posted the fix in my reply to Art. I started out with
the same problem as him, having searched the ng here,
and found his message while searching for "Address
Bar" in the ng. I originally tried a search on Google for
"hidden address bar" but that didn't come up with much
of anything. So then it popped into my head to search
for "missing address bar" and that brought me to the
link I posted...

And I'll repost the fix that it specifically suggests:
<snip>
Click Start, Run and type REGSVR32 /i BROWSEUI.DLL
Reboot.
</snip>

That is what fixed my problem. And yes, I already tried
the putting the check mark next to "Address Bar" on the
context menu that pops down (yes, it is not a popup,
but rather a popdown menu), and just passing along
some other grand information about XP, I prefer the
Classic Looks over the Unclassic Looks .

One other thing I'll mention, is that I tried Kelly's little
program, which seems to be lacking the ability to register
the browseui.dll. I'm passing this information along to
Kelly, because I think her neat little program could be
made just a little bit better by performing the registration.

Dim iDummy As Long, sCmd As String, hWnd As Long
Dim iSuccess As Long, sFile As String
'hWnd = Me.hWnd
sCmd = "regsvr32.exe"
'sFile = vbNullString
sFile = " /i browseui.dll"
iSuccess = ShellExecute(Me.hWnd, "open", sCmd, _
sFile, vbNullString, SW_SHOWNORMAL)

GetDesktopWindow() could be used in place of Me.hWnd
as defined below:

Declare Function GetDesktopWindow _
Lib "user32.dll" () As Long

Another option would be to use SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE
or SW_SHOWNA instead of SW_SHOWNORMAL...
you might want to try it...

'Constants Declarations
Const SW_HIDE = 0
Const SW_NORMAL = 1
Const SW_MAXIMIZE = 3
Const SW_SHOW = 5
Const SW_MINIMIZE = 6
Const SW_RESTORE = 9
Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
Const SW_SHOWMINIMIZED = 2
Const SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3
Const SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE = 4
Const SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE = 7
Const SW_SHOWNA = 8
Const SW_SHOWDEFAULT = 10
Const SW_SHOWMAX = 10
