While in Internet Explorer 8 - press the "ALT" tab - your menu you are
looking for (Tools) should appear along with the rest you arfe used to
seeing (just for a click.)

Also you should have a Tools option anyway.

Right click on the area where you think the menu should be and ensure there
is a checkmark next to "Command Bar" (and/or "Menu bar" if you want
old-school.)

Or... Learn to fish.

Now is a great time to point you to one of the easiest ways to find
information on problems you may be having and solutions others have found:

Search using Google!

Thanks for the information..

The "alt" key provided a "tools" tab, and from there it was easy to make
the change..

I'll use your friend google more often in the future..

To find the same thing as used to be "Tools" > "Internet Options" from the top menus,
just go to "Control Panel" and choose "Internet Properties" instead!

Starting with IE 7, it seems that the Menu bar is hidden. Right click
on the tool bars and place a check mark next to the Menu bar. The
menu will from then on.

True!

But, to get to "Tools" > "Internet options" from the top menus IS the same as going
to :

"Control Panel" > "Internet Options"

....and this is true for IE6, IE7, and IE8, in XP, Vista and Win7!!!
