How do I repair a missing Windows Explorer Address bar?

How do I repair a missing Windows Explorer Address bar? Recently after a chkdsk and reboot I lost the address bar in Windows Explorer and could not add it back. How do I bring the address bar back?

"I have been searching for weeks across many posts and today found a solution that actually works so I wanted to share that:

Click on Start, then Run
Type: REGSVR32 /i BROWSEUI.DLL
Close all Windows Explorer windows
Bring up the Task Manager
Kill explorer.exe (which is the running the desktop)
On the Task Manager, select File, then New Task (Run)
Type explorer.exe

Open up a new Windows Explorer, the Address Bar should now be visible."
