Computer help: The hidden toolbar in IE 7

Display Those Menus

Are you among the many who downloaded the new version of Internet Explorer (Version 7)? If so, you've probably been dealing with some changes from the earlier versions ever since. One of the main things that changed with IE 7 was the disappearance of the File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools and Help menus. In IE 6, you could always count on those menus being available, but for some reason, they are hidden in the new browser. Here's how to get them back.

If you want to get them back temporarily (maybe you only need them for a quick second), just hit the Alt key on your keyboard and the menus will appear. Once they show up, you can do whatever you need to do with them.

If you want the menus to be available permanently, click on the Tools button and choose Menu Bar. Or hit the Alt key (the temporary way) and when the menus appear, go directly to View, Toolbars, Menu Bar. Either way, all of those helpful menus will stay put for good. If you ever want to hide them again, just reverse the above actions.
