P.S. That alert window you want back, will pop up the first time your
information bar returns.
Leave it unchecked if you want to continue seeing it in the future.

Hi 'darkrats',
Thanks a lot for your recommended action. I presume you understood my
issue
is with getting back the Information Bar Message Window that pops onto
the
middle of the screen and not the Information Bar itself which appears
near
the top of the browser. It is this Message Window that alerts you to
the
fact
that the Information Bar has appeared above that I want back.
So, that being the case, I can copy and paste the code between the
lines
as
you suggest into notepad OK, I just am not clear how to proceed from
there. I
am a bit computer literate but not immensely so!
Could you just spell out a bit more simply for me the steps I follow,
when
I
have my code in notepad, to 'save as a registry file (i.e.
YesBar.reg)'. I
really don't understand precisely what to do. And where would you
recommend
that I save it?
I will try this when I am more clear on what to do, before I take up
your
very kind offer to send me a copy of the file. Would I need to give you
my
email address for you to send me the file if needed?
Thak you so much for helping.
:
Copy and paste everything between the lines into notepad. Make sure
you
leave an empty line at the bottom. Save as a registry file (i.e.
YesBar.reg). Go to where you saved that file and double-click it. The
inofrmation bar will return just as it was when you first saw it. If
you
are
unable to successfully make this registry file, drop me a note and
I'll
send
you a copy.

Thanks Alan but no, it's not what I mean't. I do have "Show
Information
Bar'
and 'Play a Sound' turned on, and that is working fine. I had
already
looked
in this area you referred me to, but it doesn't give an option to
turn
the
Message on/off.
My problem is with the initial Information Bar Message Window that
pops
on
to the screen telling you to look up near the top of your browser to
see
that
the Information Bar has appeared. It is this Message Window that I
inadvertently clicked the box within it that said 'don't show me
this
message
again'.
So, please, can you describe to me the steps to turn this message
back
on?
Thanks a lot for your communication.
:
Internet Explorer/Tools/Pop-Up Blocker/Pop-Up Blocker Settings has
an
option "Show Information bar when a pop-up is blocked".
Isn't that what you want?
....Alan

I inadvertently clicked 'don't show this message again' on the
Information
Bar Message Window. This is the message window that alerts you
when
Internet
Explorer blocks a pop-up window or file download that might not be
safe.
It
tells you to look for the Information Bar (near the top of your
browser).
I have looked in Internet Explorer/Tools/Pop-Up Blocker/Pup-Up
Blocker
settings, and you can not turn the message window back on from
there.
PLease help me turn this message window back on. I do want to be
shown
this
message again.
