IE Toolbar formatting problem - please help!

My computer locked up and I had to do a hard boot. When it came back up, IE6
put all the toolbars on the same line instead of the way I originally
formatted/set them up. I have tried everything to no avail and cannot change
the way the toolbars look/operate. For instance, the address bar is a small
radio button/box on the same line with all the other toolbars instead of
being on a separate line, meaning I can only see a very small portion of it
at a time. This is driving me crazy and I have never seen this happen before.
I have a current, up-to-date AV program installed, but is it possible someone
has infected my computer/IE? I had a very specific setup for my browsing
needs and no matter what I do I cannot restore it. Any help will be
appreciated.

Thanks.

Hey mamabird...

On the drop down menu on the very top of your browser go to VIEW, TOOLBARS
and uncheck the LOCK TOOLBARS item. Then you will be able to rearrange
your toolbars anyway you like.

Then when you have them to your preferences go back and check the LOCK
TOOLBARS to keep them in place.

Good luck...
 
If you see the smallest piece of the Address Bar (usually the name)
then stretch the Address bar back to a normal size and move it if
necessary. If the Button Bar or some other bar is to the right of it,
you may want to move that to a different position first.

Don't forget to ensure "Lock the Toolbars" is unchecked in
View-Toolbars.

Thanks to you both! I'm not sure how it happened, because at first, "Lock
Toolbars" was not visible on the menu. But "Full Screen" was checked so I
unchecked that and the browser window got smaller. After I maximized it, all
3 toolbars were visible and in the right order again along with the "Lock
Toolbars" option. I was so frustrated last night I didn't notice the "Full
Screen" was checked and of course I have no idea how it got checked in the
first place....sigh.

Anyway, all is well again and thanks for your help - Monte as well!
