ITBarLayout does not exist

[neverthenerd]

running xp pro
toolbars are missing in ie and win explorer
trying to get them back
ITBarLayout does not exist for me to delete it
tried the utilities from places like kelly's
still no dice
any ideas?

First, try using the F11 key, to toggle the full screen mode. Regarding the
ITBarLayout, have you checked in the correct location?

Menu bar/Toolbar Missing in Windows Explorer and/or Internet Explorer:

Reset Internet Explorer's Toolbar menu:

(If you have Google Toolbar installed already, try the above link)

Ramesh,
thanks for responding

yes i have looked in the correct location

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar -
WebBrowser, Explorer, and ShellBrowser]

sadly, F11 was the first thing i tried

thank you for the toolbar link (it didn't work either)
i have also tried to right-click on the blank areas up there, but to no
avail

any other ideas?

Hi,

See if you have Full Control over the "Toolbar" key, and it's sub-keys.

Additionally, see if this applies in your case:

Toolbars are locked - Unable to customize the toolbar:

oi
if by 'full control' you mean i can edit things, yes i believe i do
as to the other possibility, nothing happens when i right or left click
on the blank space (or the google toolbar blank space)
i'm trying to avoid re-install xp, do you think that is feasible?

sorry,
yes, i do have full control (permissions...)
also, those keys are not in those places the only things in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion
\ Policies \ Explorer
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \
CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer
are (default) and NoDriveTypeAutoRun

Reinstall Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP:
http://www.petri.co.il/reinstall_ie_6_on_xp.htm

When you're prompted for the updated system files:

Case 1: If you've installed a Service Pack (1 or 2) after you installed
Windows XP, mention the path as follows:

C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

Case 2: If you have a Windows XP Operating System CD integrated with the
latest Service Pack, simply point to the following path:

X:\i386

Where X:\ is the CD-ROM drive-letter.

Hi jje,

Try running SFC.

Type in Start, Run:

Sfc /Scannow
