In browser now there is nowhere to type adresses.? no toolbar?

[Masru O'Martin]

Greetings,


We need help! One day, when we started up I Explorer no
longer had any of the toolbars or even a space to type in
the web address. no back button, nothing. On our computer
we have two users, and the other Internet explorer was
unaltered. We tried "restore defaults" wherever we could
find it, nothing. We have good security, ICF, blocker,
updated norton etc. We thought it may be some type of
spyware so we used a Spyware hunter and came up clean.
I am concerned with losing "my favorites" and did a hard
drive search for them, but came up empty. what to do?

Try pressing F11. If that doesn't work read on.

From Doug Knox:

Close any open Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer windows.

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT

Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar

There are 3 sub keys: Explorer, ShellBrowser, WebBrowser'

In each of these sub-keys is the entry for ITBarLayout

For IE Toolbars: The WebBrowser Sub-key directly affects IE.
For Windows Explorer Toolbars: The Explorer Sub-key directly affects
Explorer.
The ShellBrowser sub-key may affect IE as well. Its effect on IE and
Windows Explorer is unknown at this time, so if the first option doesn't
work, delete the ITBarLayout value here as well.

Choose the relavent sub-key and right click where it says ITBarLayout and
select Delete.

The deleted value will automatically be recreated for you.

You may want to right click on the main key (above) and select Export. This
will allow you to backup the contents of the whole key, including subkeys.

Or try this utility, which does the same thing:
