Windows Explorer Issue: my "Address" bar is gone, how do I get it back?

Hey there everyone...I'm having a wierd issue. My Windows Explorer Address bar is gone and I don't know how it happened (See below). This makes saving files rather irritating as I often use the address bar when I'm copying/pasting a directory structure in front of a filename to save myself a few seconds navigating to the desired folder. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks much!

Can you right click on the menu bar & restore it from there?

Go into VIEW then into TOOL bar and EXPLORER Bar and you need to make sure everything you want to show gets checked off.

Nope, I can't right-click anywhere to get anything useful from a Windows Explorer perspective. I have nView on my computer (Nvidia software that comes with my laptop's graphics card), but it hasn't ever f---ed up Windows Explorer like this before.

Did you accidentally hit F11? F11 will put you in full screen mode.
