Where is the address bar in Explorer 6?

After recently downloading and installing some updates, I
no longer have an address bar in which to directly type a
web address. Where did it go? How can I get it back?

Thanks!
 
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.

kj,
Close all instances of IE except one
Right-click on the top Toolbar, uncheck: "Lock the Toolbars"
Place the cursor over the "Address" button and click (hold down)
It will change to a 4-way arrow, move or expand the Address Bar to desired
location
Right-click on the top Toolbar, check: "Lock the Toolbars"
Hold down the Ctrl key and close IE

Confirm these default Registry entries exist:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Show_ToolBar"="yes"
"Show_URLinStatusBar"="yes"
"Show_URLToolBar"="yes"

Is the "Address" button visible? (if so ignore the below)
If not then there may be a Registry restriction that is preventing it from
loading.

Open Regedit to the following locations:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Toolbars\Restrictions]
"NoAddressBar"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Toolbars\Restrictions]
"NoAddressBar"=dword:00000001

Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)
Note: always Export before editing.
