Windows Explorer address bar won't hang around

[ray124c41]

In Windows Explorer, the address bar appears when I check
View/Toolbars/Address Bar, as it should. However, when I close WE and open
it again, the address bar no longer appears.

How to make the address bar persist?

Open an Explorer window (My Computer, My Documents, whatever). Set its views
to exactly the way you want. Then from the Tools>Folder Options menu above,
click on the Views tab. Set additional things the way you want. Click the
button on that tab that says "Apply to all folders". You'll get a little
dialog box, click OK, then Apply/OK out.

If you've done all that already, it would be wise to make sure the computer
is virus/malware-free:

How are you closing WE? Set the options then use File/Close.

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware Pro Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, AVG Anti-Spyware,
Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware, NOD32, and Zone Alarm

Funny how I did, and still do suspect, Norton Internet Security!! It's so
intrusive, it's almost worse than the disease. However, I swear by it. It
is very effective.

Anyway, I just brought up WE and lo and behold the address bar was there!!!!
Then I remembered I had already done what Malke suggested before I made this
post, in order to have thumbnails appear in the WE display. So I must have
had the address bar visible at the time!

If I hadn't posted the problem, I would never have known how I fixed it!

Thank you all for your help.
