HELP! FOR WHATEVER REASON, I DO NOT HAVE AN ADDRESS BAR
ON MY INTERNET EXPLORER. I AM COMPUTER LITERATE, BUT FOR
SOME REASON CANNOT SEEM TO FIND OUT HOW I CAN GET THE
ADDRESS BAR UP THERE! ALL I HAVE IS SEARCH BARS, SO WHEN
I TYPE IN AN ADDRESS.. THE SEARCH ENGINE BRINGS UP
SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS...I DONT NEED THIS BECAUSE I
ALREADY KNOW WHERE I WANT TO GO! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
ME CUT OUT THE MIDDLE MAN? THANK YOU!
 
STOP SHOUTING...

Right click on the browser in a clear spot. There will be
a list of things.. make sure "Address Bar" is checked. If
this is not the case... your browser may have been
hijacked. You may need to run Ad-Aware, which is a free
spyware removal tool.

Allison,
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.
