Anyone who is using IE7 will probably thinking “where is that menu bar at the top”, well just like all the other million people out there I also thought it was an odd move to hide the menu bar.

You can do 2 things that will permantely bring the menu bar back to your browser, and also make it stay at the top of the page.

Bring Back the Menu Bar

  • Simply click on the tools dropdown
  • Select menu bar
  • This will permanently bring back the menu bar (so you don’t have to keep pressing alt)

Send the Menu Bar to the Top

You will notice that they have moved the menu bar in IE7, well if you want to move it back to the position it has always been then you will have to do a basic registry edit.

  • Go to this location
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser
  • Create a new DWORD - ITBar7Position
  • Set the value to 1
  • Done
