Lost my address bar

[Alice Johnson]

I no longer see the address bar for typing in the URL.
Google is there. And "MSN Powered by Dell --- Search the
web" is there, but of course neither of these takes me
directly to the web site I want but to a search engine.
I have no idea how this happened, and I hope someone out
there can tell me how to fix it.

Right click the toolbar and make sure that Lock Toolbars is not checked and
that Address Bar is checked.
Grab the handle at the left end of each toolbar and drag them down. One of
them is probably hiding the Address bar.
