Hi guys!

I’m using Google Chrome as my default internet browser.  I found it very useful to have the download toolbar to be shown when it’s downloading something.

Unfortunately, I clicked  the ‘X’ mark on the right-side of the bar.  Now,  I want to bring it back so that I can see the download progress for my file. I know that I can click the wrench icon or use Ctrl + J to open it again,  but it will just show the downloaded files on a new tab.

I want it back so that I can see it anytime, even if I transfer from one tab to another.

For your assistance please.

Thanks,

James

James,

I myself, like you have made the mistake of accidentally clicking on the x by the download shelf and turned off the download bar. However,  you can easily  reenable the download shelf by downloading another file. If the prior download has not finished yet,  it will stil be present on the download shelf until you exit out clicking on the x again.

 There has been a lot of discussions regarding the download shelf to be configurable by users.  This has been an ongoing issue between the Chromium developers and the users. A lot of Chrome users usually would like the download bar gone altogether, but there has been some features discussed that you might want to participate in and provide your feedback . Just visit the current forum regarding the download shelf in Google Chrome.

Vsit the forum.

Happy computing!

Halle James,

To resolve that in Google Chrome, you will need to use the following procedure:

  • First you will need to launch the program Google Chrome.
  • And then you will click on the Wrench icon on top right corner of the browser.
  • After that you will need to choose Settings from the drop down list. That  will open a window that has Google Chrome settings.
  • You will need to locate the area that says "Search". You should get that in the middle part of the page.
  • And then you will click on Manage search engines. A list of Search engines including the default one will appear.
  • You will need to move your mouse over to your preferred search engine and then click Make default.
  • After that, you will need to remove Searchqu Toolbar from Google Chrome, you will need to mouse-over to that item and click on the X mark.

Regards,

Carl
