How to locate a missing toolbar in IE- windows xp

A common complaint from end users is that an Internet Explorer toolbar is missing, or a toolbar that they used to have is not available anymore. The toolbars that you can configure include the Standard toolbar, the Address bar, and the Links bar. Users might also complain that they cannot see the information at the bottom of the screen that shows which security zone they are in, denoting a missing Status bar. You can add and remove these toolbars by using the View menu; and you can customize the placement of the Standard toolbar, Address bar, and Links bar by dragging and dropping.

To show or hide any of the toolbars, follow these steps:

1. Open Internet Explorer, and from the View menu, point to Toolbars.

2. The Toolbars list contains Standard Buttons, Address Bar, Links, Lock The Toolbars, and Customize selection. Toolbars marked with a check are showing; toolbars without a check do not show. To select or clear a toolbar, select it from the list

To customize the placement of the Standard toolbar, Address bar, or Links bar in windows xp, follow these steps:

1. In Internet Explorer, make sure that the toolbars are unlocked by going to the View menu, pointing at Toolbars, and ensuring that the Lock The Toolbars command does not have a check next to it. If it does, choose the command to toggle it off.

2. Position the pointer at the far left of the toolbar you want to move.

3. Click and hold the mouse button; the pointer will change to a four-headed arrow.

4. Drag the toolbar to a new position to combine it with an existing toolbar or to move its position onscreen.

5. Position the pointer on the light dotted lines that separate combined toolbars until the pointer becomes a two-headed arrow. Drag to resize the toolbar.
