Hi everyone, I'm having a minor but irritating problem with IE. By default when IE is opened, just above the taskbar there is a thin beige/white bar which shows the address of the link that the cursor has been placed on top of. One day it suddenly disappeared and I don't know how to get it back. I've tried going to "tools -> internet options" and restoring the defaults but that doesn't work.

Can someone please help me out? Thanks.
