Question:

How can I access the Internet Explorer Information Bar introduced in Windows XP 
Service Pack 2?

Answer:

Service Pack 2 for Windows XP adds a new feature to Internet Explorer called 
the Information Bar. The Information Bar appears below the address bar and
provides information about downloads, blocked pop-up windows, and other 
activities. This helps you avoid potentially harmful files that you might 
otherwise
download from the Internet.

A sound plays when the Information Bar appears. To move to and read the 
Information Bar, press ALT+N. You can then press the SPACEBAR to open the 
Information
Bar menu. You can press ESC to hide the Information Bar and return to the page 
you were viewing. These are Windows keyboard shortcuts and are not exclusive
to JAWS.

For a complete description of the Information Bar, refer to the appropriate 
section in the Internet Explorer Help system.

    Hello All,
    As usual, I have an interesting problem. I go to my start menu, then to 
windows update and when the page comes up, it says the page cant be properly 
loaded and i need to install the active x controls and to right the information 
bar and click install active x controls. I hit alt and N to get to the bar, but 
there is not one.
    I have had sighted help look to see and there is no information bar. I even 
had a tech here in Florida use a remote server to access my PC and look at it 
and he too says there is no bar and I just do not know what to do. Can I 
download these controls elsewhere. Help!
    Take care,
    John
