I've lost the entire tool bar of Internet explorer.
Google is my home page and that is all I see when I open
IE.

Did I change some setting? How do I get it back.

Thanks

Try pressing F11. If that doesn't work read on.

From Doug Knox:

Close any open Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer windows.

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT

Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar

There are 3 sub keys: Explorer, ShellBrowser, WebBrowser'

In each of these sub-keys is the entry for ITBarLayout

For IE Toolbars: The WebBrowser Sub-key directly affects IE.
For Windows Explorer Toolbars: The Explorer Sub-key directly affects
Explorer.
The ShellBrowser sub-key may affect IE as well. Its effect on IE and
Windows Explorer is unknown at this time, so if the first option doesn't
work, delete the ITBarLayout value here as well.

Choose the relavent sub-key and right click where it says ITBarLayout and
select Delete.

The deleted value will automatically be recreated for you.

You may want to right click on the main key (above) and select Export. This
will allow you to backup the contents of the whole key, including subkeys.

Or try this utility, which does the same thing:

It's there. First click on view, and and then toolbars,
uncheck LOCKED..then use your mouse and move to the very
left of your screen until you see the arrows, move up or
down. Your toolbar should be there. Once you find it, use
the lock option so it stays there permanently.
