How to Put the History Back at the Top of Explorer

Internet Explorer Web browser allows you to customize the Standard Buttons toolbar by adding or removing buttons and changing the order in which the buttons are embedded on the toolbar. If for some reason, your "History" button goes missing from the toolbar, you can manually add it back to the top bar. Note that you may follow the same technique to restore any other standard buttons on your Internet Explorer toolbar.

Instructions

1. Launch Internet Explorer Web browser.

2. Click the "View" menu tab. Point to "Toolbars" and select "Customize."

3. Single-click to highlight the "History" button in the "Available Toolbar Buttons" box. Click "Add." If this doesn't resolve the issue, go to the next step.

4. Navigate back to the "View" menu, point to "Toolbars" and select "Customize."

5. Click the "Reset" button. Click "Close" to end the task.
