Having a problem moving my address bar from bottom of screen to top of screen
Hello everyone,
I cant seem to bring up an address bar at the top of the screen because when I right click at the top of the page, the options are not lit up. I could only bring up an address bar at the bottom. Since it gets in the way at the bottom, I would like to know if anyone can help me get the address bar back to the top again?
Which address bar arer you talking about? If you are referring to the Windows task bar, you just need to left click and hold down the button and drag the bar to the top.
I cant make the address bar at the top of the screen come back. When I right click to bring up my choices, they are not lit up. I have resorted to having an address bar at the bottom of the screen. How do I make one appear at the top or am i doing something wrong?
Hi,
When you right click anywhere on the gray area at the top of your screen, all the options are grayed out?
This could be a Registry error, or an Internet Explorer error. If you use XP, I would try this:
Re-boot the computer, and immediately start pressing and releasing the F8 key, top of keypad.
Keep pressing and releasing it until you come to the "menu" screen.
Use the up and down arrows on the keypad to select "Last Known Good Configuration", then press Enter.
The computer will then restore the last know good Registry.
Post back and let us know if this solves the issue.
Best of luck.
Last Known Good Configuration only takes you back to the last sucessful log on, as with NT, so it will not resolve this issue.
Why not just boot into safe mode and do a system restore to a date when it worked correctly.
Have you tried Views > Toolbars > and making sure Address Bar is checked ?
While you are in the Toolbars menu, uncheck Lock Toolbars and you should then be able to reposition them to your hearts content ??

You never answered what address bar this is? Is it on your Task bar? is is some utility you downloaded? What???
It is the internet exploter address bar located at the top of the screen...
It sounds, therefore like you are using the Address toolbar feature of the taskbar (right click on a blank area of the taskbar and select Toolbars). Then activate the Address toolbar. This will place the Address bar on your Taskbar.
Now if you want the address bar alone to be docked at the top of the screen, you have to first unlock the Taskbar, then drag JUST that toolbar all the way to the top of the screen. I just did it and it works.
Linear Mode
