I don't understand these instructions, or at least they didn't work for me. I have I E 8, and Windows XP SP3, and if I do an Alt-n while on a Webpage, nothing happens. Do you need to be in the re-direct blocked screen before you press the Alt-n? I can't remember having heard of the Information Bar, either, for that matter. What info is supposed to be on it?

Once you press this focus will be on the information bar and then you can press the space bar to bring up a menu of options.

Don't know, what happened, and it might have been other reasons, but my problem started about that time. Some sites, IE 8 blocks from showing popups, or even from downloading files. This is due to security, and I am glad it does so, in the general. But every now and then, you want to, or even have to, let it download or install some files. When it blocks something, a short sound is played, and the INFORMATION LINE, will show up, at top of the screen. Usually, I have just moved my mouse to the top left corner (numpad7), and then down two or three lines, and there it is, ready to be clicked on. But that is usually; or, that WAS. When moving to the top left corner now, I am in the middle of the site text, itself. There is no info-line, and even my menu bar (File, Edit, View) is gone. I chcecked to see, if this would be because IE 8 was not maximized, but it already was. I then tried to Restore it to normal size, but that didn't make any changes. So I decided to try playing a bit with Zooming the text, but the settings between 75%-150% have given no lucky outcome. Anyone happen to have an idea, what I can try, to get back the 'ordinary' outlay of the ie screen - including the menu bar, and the info-line (when that one pops up)? Would be great if you had a trick, as some pages I visit frequently, does show up this info-line, and I need to get there, to see what they have blocked. BTW, is there, or even could there be implemented, a command (hotkey) for WE to quickly jump to the info-line? Thanks, If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
