Address Bar Problem

mgoette321 · 08-23-2006, 10:32 PM

Hello. I am having problems with my address bar.

Okay, well first off I was on the computer earlier today, opening .php pages with my documents, and when you do that the address bar doesn't show up. Anyways, somehow, when I clicked on the 'e' to get onto the internet, the internet shows up like that. I right clicked on the bar at the top, and checked the Address Bar incase, it was on hide, but it wasn't. I then clicked it again, so the check mark wasn't here, so it would be hiding but that just made it go from

this..

to this..

I've tried everything I could think of. I even clicked customise, and I tried to organize them so it would be inbetween the earthlink bar we have, and all of the main thumbs, but it wasn't even there so I could. I'm getting so frustrated.

Thanks so much if you can help me : ]]]

Hello mgoette321, and Welcome to TSF!

Try this...

Open an Internet Explorer Page; then, Go 'View' > Toolbars > click on 'Address Bar', click to close it.
Now go back into 'View' > Customise ; then you can sort out what 'buttons' you want in the toolbar at the top as well....see if this works.

Post back with the outcome.

Hey!
Nope, that didn't seem to work. I like, hid it, like you said, and then I went to customise, and the Address thing, is nowhere to be found, so I can place it somewhere. It's not even there when it isn't hid.

Do you know anything else that might help? I'm getting so angry with this thing : [
