my address bar disappeared, and when i right-click on the web search bar it shows the address bar already checked, and I need my address bar because it takes me directly to the site, unlike the search bar which doesn't. So I am not going to use the search bar until I have my address bar back right now! Because I have very important software to download from another site and I need my address bar NOW!!! got the picture! Thank You, and have nice day

My adress bar dissapeared also and i got it back by going to VIEW, TOOLBARS, place a check by ADRESS BAR then you should see in the top, right corner: Adress. right click it and un check LOCK THE TOOL BARS. Then you should see a thin line across the rest of the standard buttons, place the curser on it and moove it up and down untill you see a two sided erow then drag the thin line untill you see the adress bar. hope this works

I had the same problem as aubrey and eventually gave up trying. In short thank you VERY much for the answer. Is back forever now!!! Cheers!

Thanks very much "Computer Helper"

Your tricked worked for me and I regained my lost address bar.

Cheers

I finally got the address bar back, but lost all toolbar buttons, and I'm still trying how to figure out how to shut my system down without using CtrlAltDelete--and to get rid of a dialogue box that has a script error in it. I was told this link would take care of all those things---I've been dsealing with one version or another of this for at least a couple of months.
There has to be an answer!

Your machine sounds fairly messed up. Have you run any anti-spyware software? That would be my first step.

cheers! had the same problem with the explorer bar! (it was locked). bloody Microsoft weirdness!

i just lost my address bar as well and for those how still have problems with it, i found a simplier way to get it back. sometimes, depending on wehre you right click it gives you the option of locking the toolbars. if you unlock them you can drag your address bar all the way across the screen or where ever you want it and relock it.

wow........thanks......have my bar back.........
