Restoring the IE7 menu bar

Somehow I disappeared it. Per IE7 help I press Alt to re-appear it
temporarily. Then, to make it permanent, IE7 help tells me to click on
Tools and then select menu bar.

But when I click Tools, although there are a number of options, menu bar
isn't one of them. So how do I permanently restore the menu bar. And is
this a bug in the Help file?

RE: Restoring the IE7 menu bar

I have no menu bar. That's why I need to restore it. I have no tools, no
file, no edit, no nothing. I sent earlier request for help but I can't send
or receive by IE7. Thought I try again. I have XP SP2

But can you restore menu bar in Full Screen Mode? I can't. IE7
represents everything wrong with microsoft these days. There software
is about
20% wishes of the customer and 80% microsoft.

I want to be able to customize my browser for maximum webpage viewing
area at the same time having quick access to my favorites in drop down
form. No
problem in Firefox or IE6, but IE7 gives you either three rows of
browser bars or full screen with Autohide (which I like) but takes
away the menu bar.

If it was up to Microsoft, your browser would have a forwards and
backward button with a fixed MS search page that sends you directly to
a wepage
that Microsft feels is most relevant. Not having the freedon to
customize is not good these days but Microsoft seems to be all about
that.

Re: Restoring the IE7 menu bar

It is listed on the dropdown of "tools" on the command bar.
and also by rightclicking anywhere on the toolbar.
I don't use the menu bar but just checked and it is there.

That's because you don't need the menu bar once you get used to the command
bar.

Don't you have the Command Bar? The gear wheel icon is Tools.

Re: Restoring the IE7 menu bar

Thanks for the help. But it's remarkable to me that MS would make it so
easy to hide the menu bar, then require that you first restore the menu bar
before you can return it permanently, and finally to give faulty and
unworkable instruction in the IE7 help file.

Thank God for Usenet.
