My Computer Screen, no internet address bar

According to Video Professor for Windows XP, when I pull up My Computer
screen, there should be a tool bar labeled 'Address' which should say 'My
computer'. I should be able to go anywhere on the internet from there also.
The problem is that the toolbar is not showing up. Does anyone know why?
Thankyou.

Thank you gls858. My bad in that I forgot to mention that 'My Computer',
'View', 'Toolbars', 'Address Bar' is checked off.

If you are on a network the feature may be turned off.

Thank you for your reply Debutante. My computer is not part of a network.
It is by itself in my home not connected to anything except the internet.

Maybe it's just hidden. Put your cursor just below the the row
that has your buttons and see if it changes to a double headed
arrow. If it does just Click and drag it open.
