Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
There are a couple different ways to restore your Internet Explorer address bar if it has disappeared.
My Internet Explorer address bar has disappeared! All I have is search bars from Google and Mywebsearch and Iwonsearch. How do I get it back???
•
You should be able to right-click on one of the remaining toolbars and select address bar again.
•
If that doesn't stick, I'd suspect one of those other search bars for being spyware (not Google's, though - Google's toolbar is good and I run it myself). I would run a spyware tool immediately.
Update:
Microsoft recently released this knowledgebase article: The Internet Explorer Address bar is missing.

Leo,
Good job on getting my address bar back, it happened once before but I forgot how I got it back, possible a full scan. I ran a full scan this time but it did not bring back the address bar. I did what you said about tools, etc. and it worked! Thank you
