text: why is my refresh button not at the top of my screen anymore, how can i get it back?   if you have internet explorer, right click where your toolbar should be (or where part of it still is), but not on a button. then, select customize command bar and add or remove buttons. then, just add "refresh" to the list.   or, if you recently updated your internet explorer, the refresh button has moved to a small green square button next to the place where you type in the url.  or, you can just click "ctrl" and "r" at the same time to refresh, or "f5."
