Where is my internet explorer toolbar windows 7

It's definitely a profile issue. I created a fresh account and logging in under that user account seems to have no menu or toolbar issues. The "Alt" key brings my toolbar back! Maybe someone in customer support suggested it as a form of job security.

I reinstalled with no resolution to the issue. I spent two hours on the phone with a Microsoft support rep before the call got dropped. I didn't have the energy to call back.

I may try the avenue that it's a video driver conflict I can't find anything in the toolbar that offers a 'copy' option. Any ideas? Thursday, November 2, PM. Sunday, November 5, PM. Hey thanx! I can read this forum now without a magnifying glass! Every time I think it's not possible to get more annoying - it does!!! Ok, ok Monday, November 6, AM. Yeah - the history took me a minute too.

I am not a computer geek and I don't have a clue where to start. I can't re-install IE7 because my updates don't work, and my active x don't work and that is why I had to uninstall IE 7 in the first place! I have done various system restores and stuff, looked in the registry and everything is fine there, I also looked in the system32 folder and everything is in place.

Your very simple solution worked wonders for me. Saturday, August 23, AM. Sunday, September 14, PM. Yes press F11, the windows title will disappear PRESS F11 once again, and will be able to see the windows title bar and the menu bar will appear. Uncheck "Lock the toolbars" to re-arrange the visible menu bar, links, address. Monday, September 22, AM.

Wednesday, September 24, PM. Right and welldone. Since this thrwad is up, and no solution for this. Poor for a company like MS, or do they want us to go all to FireFox? IE7 has some new features I found that work perfect. From RUN type "gpedit. Your menu bar will be permanent. Sunday, September 28, AM. Can Someone help me? Sunday, October 5, PM.

Wednesday, November 12, AM. Monday, December 8, PM. We have the same exact problems how did you resolve it? Tuesday, December 16, PM. Saturday, December 27, PM. I do not know if this is same problem but it is killing my time.

I can get the standard menu back, but not the toolbars I need and have used forever. The "Roboform" application which is my password and form filler is off to the right side. I have to click on the drop down menu to get the tool bar to show and be active. I can no longer keep it open permanently. Only toolbar besides the standard that remains open consistently is the "Links" wotj all the Yahoo entries.

How can I get my tool bar back? Wednesday, January 7, PM. I have gotten the Standard menu to stay with File-Edit,etc. I have to go to the right extreme drop down box to use Roboform and cannot get it to remain as permanent toolbar. This is problem since the application is my password and form filler. Can you help? Monday, February 9, PM. I have nothing there I have tried F11, and it doesn't work either..

Right click it and delete it. Sunday, February 15, AM. I have an alternative answer. System Restore Resetting IE from internet properties. IE7 is now corrupt. However, some of you may find that the "Change or Remove" option is missing in Add remove programs, you can read my fix, or you can read the official Microsoft way to remove.

Start , Run 2. Type " Appwiz. Click next, next, next and ignore the warnings regarding programs which may not work, its listing things installed AFTER IE7, not stuff that use it.

Reboot 5. Now install Internet explorer 7, NOT 8! Personal note. Hope that helps. Thursday, February 26, PM. I was having a problem with the IE title bar being blank and the menu bars not appearing and your solution worked perfectly Fulou. Tuesday, March 10, AM. Thursday, March 26, PM. Fulou, Your solution seems to be the best I've seen but my question is, Once my IE7 has been completely removed, how do I access any websites to reinstall the IE7?

I made the mistake of installing IE8 and uninstalling it after noticing several problems with it. Now I'm experiencing all the problems others are reporting i. I've also tried most of the other solutions offered. I anxiously your or any other assistance regarding this issue. Proposed as answer by kpepiton Monday, May 11, PM. Wednesday, April 1, AM.

All I did, was go to a grey area on the toolbar and right click. The option for Menu Bar was right there. I clicked it and have had it ever since. Not sure why this option is not visible to you. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.

I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. Click the Start button, type folder options and click the "Folder Options" link that appears. When the "Folder Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "View" tab. Click "OK" to close the dialog box. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. I found it…by pressing F11…the tip you gave first, naturally.

What were they thinking? I teach Seniors computer classes and I guarantee they accidentally do this one … and then panic. Please help. Thanks Lee. Yes this got my tool bar, and menu bar both back up for me.

I looked all in my books I have on using a PC, and found nothing that was of any use for me. Thanks for this information, and I do appreciate you posting this for us who need it.

Thank you, Leo, it worked for me. It worked in Firefox. I was cleaning the dust off my laptop and suddenly everything was gone, tabs, toolbars … The only thing that would come up was yahoo and that was full screen. I found Ask Leo and tried several buttons and having no solutions, but then f11 worked suddenly.

Thank you, thank you Leo. Thanks so much. I got it back and was able to fix something else that was a major problem. I can also finally clean up my cookies file. Many thanks, Leo! Thank You! I was not able to find how to print stuff with the new bar. And then today you pulled up and within minutes my familiar tool bar is back AND I just printed this article using it! You are a blessing to my personal harmony!!!

I tried it all. F 11 just made the screen jump around a bit, right click on favorites onny brought uphowing navigation bar size of icons, default office home mobile and customize the icons offered by msn.

Ineed to get to the tool click on to get to internet options to fix a problem. Can I just download a more appropriate task bar that has what I need. Thanks, F11 got back menu options. Even Microsoft Support site did not mention about this. Leo, I was wondering, after you delete your history on the places you visited, how do you get them back? Is this something new? Or did someone touch or click on the cookies to not make me able to see the history pages.

IE 11 made it hard. No right click option on existing toolbar with favourites on. No spanner just three horizontal lines top right. There is no bar to click on. Very frustrated!! Thank you so much for writing this! I found myself with this problem after a toddler pressed various unknown buttons on my laptop. You do a really good job of explaining things in a simple manner, and I found the pictures very helpful when following along.

Thank you, Leo. I am looking forward to passing this on. Depends on the laptop. Sometimes clicking with two fingers at the same time does it. In some cases, it works like a normal left click, in others, it does different things. We just updated to Windows 10 at work. Is there a way to get the menu bar back in outlook?? I have no Idea how to get It back and all of the problems that the people above me here. I have the same problem to. I mean all of them are gone and I need those they really help me out.

Your information on the fix for the menu was right on target!!! It worked the first time and I got my Menu Bar Back!! Thanks for your help!!! Saved me a lot of time!!!
