How to get menu items to appear in toolbar?

[Gregg Hill]

Hello!

I have XP Pro SP2 and IE6, all Windows critical updates done. On certain web
sites, if I click on a link it will open the link in a new window, but the
window is missing the menu items at the top. There is no File, Edit, View,
Insert, etc in the window. I can right-click the icon bar and choose to show
the address bar, then cut and paste the address into a normal IE window. Is
there any way to make the menu items show up in the window that pops open
without them?

Usually not. The behavior of the new IE window can be coded by the web site
author to open said window in many different configurations, depending on
his wishes. More information on these options here:

A sometimes work-around to this issue is to right click the link in
question, then choose "Copy Shortcut", then paste that into the address bar
in an already-opened IE window. This may not work with all links - such as
those coded with scripting and using a button, for example.
