Toolbars missing
First, press F11 to make sure you're not in full
screen mode.
If that doesn't work, right click the toolbar(s) you have
and make sure all options are enabled.
If that doesn't work, try sliding around the toolbars you
have to see if the missing one is 'stuck behind' (make sure
your toolbars are unlocked in later versions of IE)
Deleting the following registry key may help as a last
resort:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser
If you own an HP computer, use MSCONFIG (startup tab)
to disable the HP utility 'autokit.exe'. If you are
using XP you may need to download a 'fix' from HP, available
at:

Internet Explorer Toolbar Revert to Default Settings After
Restarting the Computer
