Try this procedure and reset the toolbar setting from Registry
- Close all browser windows (Important)
- Open registry editor (start>run>regedit.exe)
- goto the following key:
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 relevant sub-key and right click where it says ITBarLayout and
select Delete.
The deleted value will automatically be recreated for you.

For some reason I no longer have the normal "FILE, EDIT,
VIEW, FAVORITES, TOOLS, HELP, ETC at the top of each
window I open. This includes while browsing using IE6.
Even the address bar is gone. I'm sure it's some setting
that somehow got unchecked - but darned if I can find
where it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
