I would like to see your code, and is your program still running?

Have you looked in you IE settings to be sure it is still checked to be showing? Also unlock the toolbar, and look around it may just barely be sitting off to the side.

I hope this helps,

Did you use HideDropDown, and if so, did you try ShowDropDown?

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

i deleted the code.. i was just trying things didn't realize what I did.

i have check the options... even in the normal folder explorer the adress doesn't show up even if it's enabled on the options.

the code was something like this:

ControlDisable ( "Program Manager","","Internet Explorer_Server2")

or

ControlHide ( "Program Manager","","Internet Explorer_Server2")

here they are

im using Windows XP SP2 in Portuguese.

some translations:

"Ver" = View

"Barra de ferramentas" = Tool bar

"Barra 'Endereço'" = Address bar

For the sheer fun of it please try the following...

Close all IE instances.

Open one IE instance.

Goto View>Toolbar and UnCheck Address Bar.

Close IE.

Restart Windows.

Open one IE instance.

Goto View>Toolbar and Check Address Bar.

Let me know how that goes... may even want to close and restart after re-enabling just for the sheer fun of it.

i was able to duplicate this, and correct it on my system.

i hid the address bar with:

ControlHide("Google - Micros","",41477); "Edit2" may work for the control id also

that hid just the edit/combobox (it's actually 2 controls with same control id, and 2 names). then to re-enable i just did

ControlShow("Google - Micros","",41477)

in order to see the change, i had to go to view/toolbars and uncheck then re-check address bar. worst case scenario, install autoit on another computer with the same operating system, and use window info tool to get the control id you have to use to interact with the address bar.

do you have access to another machine using the same operating system? if so, then just install autoit on that machine and get the control id for the address bar on that machine. it should be the same for yours. then just use the lines i posted, with the corrected control id, and hide/show the address bar.

format?! screw that. it's not THAT serious yet is it? try doing a repair first, or install an older version of IE over your current one, then update it... sorry, format i think should be the last last last resort.

***edit***

oh yeah, you CAN navigate to websites from the run prompt, you know that right? press windows+R to get run box and type in an address http://google.com and it will go there...

i don't use IE as browser.. i only need it for view folders.

i have tried everythink... install IE SP1 didn't work because i have the IE update.. have to hack the registry but then the install just fails for some reason.

i did sfc /scannow ... nothing

get my self a program that should repair the adress bar... nothing

went to the control panel ... xp components... uninstall IE didn't work

i think it might the a control of windows or vb6 runtime... but well i don't know what to do...

just got to wait until format and the address bar will comeback lol
