Move the address bar below the menu bar in Windows Explorer

{22C440DF-4720-4B3A-A472-0CCB6E6CDD97} seems to be unrelated, totally. I saw it but dismissed.

How do I repair a missing Windows Explorer Address bar? - Super User

I tried to delete browseui.dll, but this did not affect anything.

Consider also the breadcrumb bar: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{575AC8C5-22DB-0D0D-EB85-F182B97F805A}

Address EditBox: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{a542e116-8088-4146-a352-b0d06e7f6af6}

Explorer Travel Band: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{C4EC38BD-4E9E-4b5e-935A-D1BFF237D980}

I found all of those except for Explorer Travel Band. I'll check it out and let you know what happens.

I also tried to delete browseui.dll with the same results you described. I think that might just be for Windows Vista.

I've done a little bit of messing around with AutoHotkey, so I might mess with that too.

I think 'Explorer Navigation Bar' has to do with the Navigation Pane that's displayed on the left side of explorer windows by default.

Alright, so deleting the ExplorerTravelBand key didn't work. I'm going to look into the AutoHotKey method.

So sorry I haven't been updating as much on here, I have a lot of real life stuff to do.

Anyway, I've done a little more research/messing around, and the address bar is internally called ReBarWindow32. I used a program called Zero Dump to find this out, and I also found out that 'Travel Band' is actually the back/forward buttons. But still, changing the 'Travel Band' registry keys doesn't seem to do anything.


So far, no changes I've made to the registry have made a difference to the address bar outside of some open/save dialogs. It would be nice to find it somewhere in the registry, but so far nothing has worked. So I'll keep looking into other solutions as well as registry tweaks.
