    v 6.0.2900.2180

    I'm wondering how I can adjust my full screen buttons & bars. In particular, when I go to full screen, my address bar disappears. Well, it is actually still there, but allllllll the way on the right, and I can just read "Address, but no place to enter an address.

    I've tried right clicking on it, and turning the address bar off and on, but it stays in the same position.

    Is there anyway for me to move it over so I can use it ?

    Do you mean Maximise as opposed to Full Screen (toggled by F11)? - in Full Screen mode only a set of reduced size icons are visible at the top of the screen.

    It sounds like you have the Toolbars locked - right click on a blank area of the toolbar or View > Toolbars and click on Lock the Toolbars to toggle the lock on/off. With the toolbars unlocked you can drag them around.

    Thanks for responding Pete, but no. I mean Full Screen. I have the smaller icons at the top of the screen, and way to the right (just to the left of the minimize/max-restore/close) it says Address - with no bar to enter an address.

    I'm trying to get that left far enough to be able to enter an address. -

    Here is a screenshot of what I'm referring to : Screenshot

    (notice the address on the top right)

    OK - now I understand :) While on Full Screen I right clicked on a blank area of the icon bar and on the menu which came up checked Address Bar (screenshot) - give that a try. May need to toggle it if it is 'stuck'.

    Yep, is initially what I thought would do it too :(. But, it just takes off that address & puts it back in that position - where I can't use it :(

    I'm thinking along the lines of a repair of IE - which OS are you using?
