I have Windows XP SP2 and latest version of IE6. There is supposed to be a
media button which you can display by clicking View, Explorer Bar. I don't
have this. Contacted computer manufacturer. Was told to uninstall and
reinstall Windows XP. Is there anything else I can do, other than that
lengthy process?
 
Hi Pat C :-)

I also have XP SP2, and there is no Media bar/button on the View>Explorer
Bar either. Here is why.

Courtesy of Ramesh -

To help improve security, Media Bar has been removed from Internet Explorer
6. For this preliminary release of SP2, however, the Group Policy settings
for Media Bar have not been removed. Because Media Bar is no longer
available, these settings will not function.

Although you can no longer use Media Bar, you can listen to digital media
by downloading and using Microsoft Windows Media® Player 9 Series.
