I have same problem as Jim French posting. The URL
address window does not show and using the View,
Toolbars, Address bar does not make it reappear. What to
do?
 
Paul,
Close all instances of IE except one
Right-click on the top Toolbar, uncheck: "Lock the Toolbars"
Place the cursor over the "Address" button and click (hold down)
It will change to a 4-way arrow, move or expand the Address Bar to desired
location
Right-click on the top Toolbar, check: "Lock the Toolbars"
Hold down the Ctrl key and close IE

Confirm these default Registry entries exist:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Show_ToolBar"="yes"
"Show_URLinStatusBar"="yes"
"Show_URLToolBar"="yes"

Is the "Address" button visible? (if so ignore the below)
If not then there may be a Registry restriction that is preventing it from
loading.

Open Regedit to the following locations:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Toolbars\Restrictions]
"NoAddressBar"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Toolbars\Restrictions]
"NoAddressBar"=dword:00000001

Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)
Note: always Export before editing.
