First, here's the contents of an exported. Initially, it looks like the following value changes. I noted some changed values on the 2nd and 3rd lines, but I will have to verify which of those values store the "Show/Hide Address Bar ". However, another setting that relates more directly to the "Address bar" is: If that were 36 instead, then I think that the Address Bar WILL show. If that is 26, then I believe that the Address Bar will not show. You see that "26" on the 3rd line down and the 11th paired value from the rightmost ,\ on that line?
#Internet explorer no address bar windows
The relevant setting that controls whether the Address Bar is visible in Windows Explorer SEEMS as though it MAY be stored in the following registry key: "MenuTextPUI "= "C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\BROWSEUI.DLL " The INTERNET Explorer "AddressBar" is defined in the registry with the CLSID (Class Identifier): In MY opinion, it is NOT possible to completely remove the option to show or hide the Address Bar in Windows Explorer without some radical registry surgery, and it IS NOT worth screwing up your system by experimenting. I think it is universally applied to Windows Explorer no matter what settings you might create for the icon views, etc. I have a feeling that the "Address Bar" is NOT one of the actual "Views" that are controlled by this action though. Close Windows Explorer and then reopen it to effect the changes. Try disabling (unchecking) that box and then try setting up one folder without the address bar, and then applying the "Like Current Folder" setting. It sounds to me as though you have the option in "Folder Options > View" > "Remember Every Folder's View Settings" selected, and it is somehow hanging onto the individual settings previously set for each folder. Have you tried setting explorer to "Classic View "? Is this a restriction you wish to impose on different users of one computer (or several on more than one machine), or simply a way to get rid of the address bar from all open Windows because YOU have no need for it and find it a nuisance like I do?

It's a lot more involved then the registry entries you've listed. Is there any reason why you want to disable/remove the address bar? Did you back up your registry.
