Not sure what I've done, but in all apps like IE, Windows Mail, and Windows
Explorer, the Menu Bar usually hidden by default with Vista is now on all
the time. The only place I can find an option to turn it on/off is from a
Windows Explorer window and choosing "Organize", "Layout", and
checking/unchecking "Menu Bar". Even after unchecking however it's still
there. How do I get it to turn off?

Thanks.

Well right after posting I figured it out. I right clicked on the Menu Bar
and clicked "Google", (Google Toolbar) and the Menu Bar turned of. I
replicated by using Organize, Layout and turning it back on, close/open
WinExp, and right clicking "Google" again. Sure enough the Menu Bar went
away. Must be something goofy with Google Toolbar under Vista.

Tools > Folder Options > View tab
Second item down, uncheck Always show menus

I've seen that issue before with IE6 - the toolbars being mislabeled!!!
