Express for Windows Toolbar is Missing

Express for Windows Toolbar is Missing

Problem:

The Express for Windows toolbar is missing.

Solution 1:

Click on View.

Click on the item to Show Toolbar.

Solution 2:

If Solution 1 does not work, the toolbar may have been dragged to an area outside of the Express window. It is possible to do this when the Express window is set to the single box display rather than the double box display - i.e. the middle icon in the upper right corner of the window in Windows 95, between the minimize and the close icons. If the single box display is chosen, and the window is positioned such that it does not cover the full screen - the Express toolbar can be dragged outside the Express window on to the Windows desktop. When Express is closed, the toolbar position is saved and, when Express is restarted, the toolbar comes back up in is last position whether that position was inside or outside the Express window. If that position, is off the current Windows desktop, the toolbar cannot be located visually.

To resolve this, first close Express, then edit the toolbar settings in the AMSEXPW.INI file. They are in the [System] section. Suggested settings are:

ToolDockStatus=6 (Please note: This item may not be present in Express 3.00. That is OK. )
ToolBarTop=0
ToolBarLeft=345
ToolBarDockStatus=0

Restart Express.

As a last resort, it the above does not work, you may need to reinstall Express. However, you should remove the AMSEXPW.INI file before reinstalling. If this occurs on a network workstation installation, just remove the .ini file and rerun the workstation setup.
