Task Bar Question

I am missing the address bar that is normally above the start button - the one that displays web addresses and the progress bar. I'm not sure what happened. I tried restarting and when I did I recieved a message that the registry was missing a file and was successfully recovered. Now I am worried. I had just used disk cleanup so I hope I did not so something wrong. I am editing this post because I just found the solution "Status Bar". Not sure how it got changed. Sorry for the dumb question.

For others with the same problem. In Internet Explorer or Firefox click View, and tick Status Bar.

Don't worry! There is nothing! Usually this problem is simple to solve, click View, and then click tools bar, you will see the Address bar.
