Missing Task and toolbars in IE6 browser window

[Kim]

Somehow I managed to close all the task and toolbars in my
IE6 browser window. I've closed it and restarted IE, but
the task and toolbars don't reappear. I've tried right
clicking to see if I could restore them on various spots i
the window and nothing presents itself. The best I can do
is go backward and forward by right clicking. I can get
to web pages through Favorites on my desktop (thus how I
managed to get to this page) but otherwise, I'm stuck with
the page that comes up as the homepage since there are no
taskbars to be able to navigate.

How do I get the tool and taskbars back in my browser
window? I'm running this in Windows 98.

Tried it already. That's not the issue. All that does is
maximize the window. The taskbars themselves are closed.

Somehow I managed to close all the task and toolbars in my
Press Ctrl-N and clone that window. See if the clone is less restrictive.
What could have happened is that you used a popup and closed it last,
thus preserving the popup's properties for your normal mode windows.


BTW the previous suggestion was valid. Fullscreen mode saves
a separate set of preferences. So you should have been able to
use its Toolbar and menu. What I find interesting about Fullscreen
mode is how it clones. Sometimes it clones into a Maximized mode
window and sometimes it clones into another Fullscreen mode window.
In either case I'm not sure what would happen if you used Restore.
E.g. perhaps it would revert to the popup's preferences or perhaps it
would propagate the Maximized mode's preferences to a new normal
mode window. In any case I would close the clone last, just in case
something would change in its persistent properties.


Good luck
