I cannot figure out how to reinstate the toolbar where
you type in the web address you wish to go to such as
www.google.ie. Have checked all the toolbar and explorer
bar settings and customise options and cannot put back
on...?
anyone know as am lost without it!

If you mean that you are missing the address bar then simply right click on
the tool bar at the top of your open IE and then put a check mark beside
address bar by clicking on it. If on the other hand it is there and you
cannot see a complete line to type in a URL (Universal Resource Locater)
otherwise known as an address but can see the word address then you need to
place your cursor on what looks to be a raised line just to the right of the
word address and left click and hold the button down and then drag the cursor
to the left to open the address line. If that doesn't work then try here:

if you need more help.

Have you ever heard of a "comma"? Try using it to make your "run together
verbage" easier to read.

LOL LOL. You really are a putz. Not only does spelling not matter a great
deal to me nor does adding the comas or colons or semi colons or whatever
makes you tick. I am rather pleased that you spend so much time reading my
posts. Thanks. Now if you could only learn to help instead of criticize you
would take a big jump on the evolutionary scale. Oh by the way. Verbage is
mispelled it's verbiage. LOL LOL {]:~)

I am not sure exactly what you mean. If you have the word Address in the tool
bar, at the top, then the blank line, usually to the right of it, is also
there. If you are unable to move the raised line to open the URL line, as you
call it, then most likely you have the address bar locked. Right click
directly on the word address and then uncheck the "lock the toolbars" option
that shows there. {]:~)

Right click the IE toolbar area and click to remove the check next to "Lock
Toolbar." Then resize or move your Address bar so that the text box is
visble and usable.

Hi I too am suffering from the missing address bar and I do understand what you mean by enabling it by checking it. I also understand the process of unlocking the tool bar then dragging the addresss bar into view with the twin arrows. However right clicking shows the word "address bar "as already checked, and the " lock tool bars " command is already unchecked.
Yet despite this the word address is not visible (save by right clicking) nor does dragging the vertical raised line when the twin arrows appear open the url window. Can you help?
I do think that the person who badmouthed the other questionees english was out of line, you can make a point about clarity in writing being heplful without being so vitriolic.
all the badmouth approach does is to alienate.
thank you all for any help you can give
