Bring IE 7 Menu Bar On Top!

  30 Nov 2006 by ReviewSaurus

IE 7 - Get it today!We all know that IE 7 has been released and many people downloaded it too. Microsoft has yet not put it under the automatic updates and thus all of the people are missing this great update from Microsoft. Anyway, but those who have downloaded Internet Explorer 7 must have found that they don’t have the standard toolbar (the one which has File, Edit, View, Favourites, Tools….) of Internet Explorer in the default view of IE 7. Although, there is an option of enabling it but if you enable it, it comes below the browsing toolbar (the one with Back, Forward, Homepage, Stop, Referesh……) and thus can be annoying for the Internet Explorer fans.

Thus, to solve this problem, I bring small registry patches which will make the Main Menu bar on the top of Browsing toolbar. Simply, double click on the registry file and merge it will change the view of the toolbar. There is another registry file, which will actually bring the toolbar back to it’s original state and thus in case you change your mind and if you want the default view back, you can simply use the other registry file.

    People you dont need to download or apply any patch… Simply press alt in IE7 and your old menu would be visible! Why do so many things when its available at a touch of key!!!!!!

    Works well. Now if only Microsoft would start using their own SDK for their own apps.

    By the way, care to name any other useful keys?
