hahaha that was dumb! So if I hit my F11 key, the bar vanishes. If I hit F11 Key again it reappears? I don't want to lose my bar either lmao but want to know how they fixed the problem

F11 will not make it dissapear like that .it still leaves some controls up there

Click on View, click on toolbar, and make sure address bar gets checked

There may be problems with the address bar not appearing if your toolbars are locked. Right click on the toolbar area and uncheck "Lock the toolbars". Then (making sure that the address bar is selected from view/toolbars) you should be able to move the file pane downwards by dragging to reveal the address bar.

OK, I have a similar problem:
I have my Adress bar just barely visible it's to the side of the standard buttons toolbar between two vertical grooves. The word Address is written there, but there aint no text box with the address to the right of it,
which is hardly surprising because there isnt enough room.
How on earth do I make it expand?
Trouble is everything is fixed and nothing can be shifted. There's lots of room to the side of that standard toolbar but I cant seem
to bring the other bars over or move them anywhere. Right mouse cllicking does nothing.
In my opinion this is a Microsoft design error, because it should not be that hard to find.

OOPS!! I just read that post that points out that you can unlock the toolbars.
Mmh... I still think this should not have been so hard.

hi, remember right click is you best friend with most windows software
