I suddenly have lost the directory path in the folder at the top Tools
ribbon,
and I haven't got any idea how to restore it. I cannot use "Return" or go
back,
as no any icon is shown at the top. When I click on MY Computer,
there should be at the top some icons placed, but they are not there.
Any help will be greatly appreciated -

THANKS

I would suggest that a newsgroup like microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
would be a more appropriate place to seek an answer. Here you will mostly
find Outlook Express experts, hence the name of the newsgroup.

Thanks, you are correct in principle. However, this "event" occurred
just after the one of "automatic upgrade", which referred to OE.
Hence I assumed that this "event" could not be only "mine"...

Are you the original poster? I missed that information in the first
message.

The first message was posted from Outlook Express in WinXP SP2 and this
second message was posted from Windows Mail in Windows Vista beta release.

The latest Outlook Express update would not have caused this. Did the
problem occur with IE6 or IE7?

For IE6 click View | Toolbars and make sure that the Address Bar is
selected.

For IE7 the Address Bar cannot be removed without a Registry edit. Did you
do that?

To my best knowledge, it happened shortly after uggrading from IE6 to IE7.
Saying that - I cannot be 100% sure...


For IE6 click View | Toolbars and make sure that the Address Bar is
selected.

This is a basic and I'm familiar with this one...- But this is IE7.
See below...

No, I haven't done this one, and I don't know how to do it.

Thanks Frank for help.

Okay, you're back on WinXP.
Right click the toolbar and make sure it is not locked and the Address Bar
is checked.
Now grab the handle at the left end of the toolbar and move it sideways and
up and down. If that doesn't reveal the Address Bar do the same with the
Menu Bat.

Thanks again, but in my case this is not applicable.
"back on WinXP" - yes it's always been the case of XP.

The routine you have described I implemented several times before.
And I would be be able to deal with a basic restore of toolbar application
icons,
or text, but this isn't the case.

I run two PC with Win XP Pro -( mine and my wife's).
On her PC when I click My Computers - the windows opens
showing a normal Toolbar with icons and text associate with
icons at the Top.

On my PC these icons with text are not there. So - say, when I
go "forward" clicking on drive C:\ - the windows opens alright,
but when I want to go back to previous window I cannot do it,
because I have no options / no Toolbar at the top. There is ONLY
at the top a blue ribbon with the PC icon and - My Computer - written
on the right of that icon. Nothing more and this is my problem.
The bottom toolbar shows the number of items - but it was
configured before the TOP Toolbar had disappeared.

Thanks for your help -
Joe

Using Windows Explorer I can click on C:\ and open a normal

Thanks , but this command works only on the window where the Toolbar is in
tact.
On the open window of My Computer, when there is NO Toolbar - it doesn't
work.
Nothing, but sound ( drum like)...
