When launching my internet explorer, the tool bar at the
top is not appearing. The back, search, refresh buttons
are also gone. We have looked everywhere we can think of
on our computer and can't find where these tool bars could
have been "turned off". The mouse cannot drag it back
into place either. Help! We can still browse with our
keyboard keys but really miss having it on screen. Also
cannot do anything administratively without the toolbar.
This happend mysteriously today 10/25/03. Thanks for your
help!
 
After reading my posting thought I would add some more
info. We reinstalled IE 6, removed cookies, deleted temp
internet files and still no change. Don't want to reset
the computer to previous day if we don't have to. Any
help is greatly appreciated.
 
I found the answer on this chat room! On page 4. Just
hit F11 and it restores the tool bar and menu bar. Too
easy! Thanks to all that use this group. Spent way too
much time trying to fix this. Next time I have a problem
I'll check at Microsoft support first!
 
Did you try View -> Toolbars and check any unchecked
toolbars? I also do this to get rid of toolbars I do not
want, like yahoo and popswatter. Or maybe I'm being too
simplistic. Hope this helps!
