At the top of Explorer:

View menu > Toolbars > click Address Bar

That should sort out your second problem.

Regarding the Excel problem, if you do a search of your harddrive for 'excel', does it show the program as still being on there?

It shouldn't. On the same menu make sure "Standard Buttons" has a tick by it and select it if it does not.

If that does not work then he may have gone in to "Customize..." (on the same menu) and made changes. If so you will also need to dive in and pick the buttons you want to see.

no, seem to have lost it forever, beginning to wonder now if i ever had it!!! have had a look at some free downloads of excel but it looks like its in a different language. can you recommend a free download or will i have to buy a package???

Have you tried to 'restore' to previous date. Go to Start, Accessories, System Tools, and Restore is contained in the list. It might just help.
Good luck
