Windows Explorer Address bar

[cv6vb10]

I'm having a problem in Win XP Home when using windows explorer. No matter what I try, I cannot get an address bar to show up so I can type in a file location manually. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

try these:

To change the Toolbar settings:
1. Start Internet Explorer, click View and then point to Toolbars.
2. If there is not a check mark next to Address Bar, click Address Bar to place the check mark. If there is a check mark next to Address Bar, click Address Bar to remove the check mark, and then click Address Bar to place the check mark.
3. If the Address bar is in the upper right corner and not available, right-click Address, and then click Lock the Toolbar to remove the check mark.
4. Click Address, and then drag the Address bar where you want it.
If the problem is still not resolved, go to Method 2.

Method 2:

To delete the WebBrowser registry key:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar
3. Right-click the WebBrowser key, click Delete, and then click Yes.
4. Open Internet Explorer, click View, and then point to Toolbars. The toolbar default settings are restored.

Thanks Ob1. That fixed it.

The toolbar needed to be unlocked to allow the address bar to be moved from the upper right corner.
