I have the need to get to an address bar and don't know how to do it. I need a reply just as fast as anyone who knows can type it in. I'm using WinXP and msn is my homepage. Thanks!!

Go to the View menu, highlight Toolbars and pick the Address Bar.

You can also do Ctrl-L and type in the address you're looking for.

Wish I knew about Ctrl-L before..handy when you are in the email section.

Thanks, gents. My brother is here from WA state and using my dad's computer which is set up differently from his at home. He's been fuming for an hour trying to find the Address Bar. Your help got us to it right away. The problem arose because I had the toolbars locked. I know very little about computers anyway. Everything is OK and we are steaming full-speed ahead.

Despite the fact it's fixed. Back hand your brother for messing with your Da's machine just on the principle of the thing. He must be using that heretical Netscape stuff. IE doesn't have integral e-mail. Any good ISP has an online page so your bro can get his e-mail from anywhere. Smack him again for not knowing that.

You are correct, sunray. He does use Netscape; swears it's better than any Gates product. Personally, I like Bill Gates. Were it not for Bill Gates and the people he has brought together in Redmond, we'd still be using the old IBM 360 mainframe. Some people, mostly left-wing wackos, are never satisfied.

Rootbeer,

Greetings from the People's Paradise of Fairness, Equality and Diversity (California). Granted we Californians are not very smart about the politicians we elect, but we are smart enough to post questions regarding computers in the Technology section of this forum -- not the Gunsmithing section.

I put the question here because this is where I believe most users come first to read all the funny, juicy stuff from the usual suspects (Pecos45 in particular; he splits my gut). And, I just discovered last night, hours after posting that question, that there even is a Computers section. So, did you sign the recall petition?

Rootbeer,

Also, if you use IE and like using the keyboard, you can do a CTRL + L and it will bring up an address box for you to type in. Sometimes I prefer that to switching to the mouse to move up to the address bar.
