Browser Menu Bar Disappeared

T

TWHITE

I use Yahoo as my home page. Recently the Internet
Explorer menu bar disappeared from the top of the page.
All I have is a bule bar. It says Yahoo at the left and
has the 3 icons at the right for minimizing, resizing, and
closing. Below this bar is the Yahoo page with their
search window. I no longer have the browser window for
entering a web address. I haven't been able to figure out
how to get it back.

Try this procedure and reset the toolbar setting from Registry

- Close all browser windows (Important)
- Open registry editor (start>run>regedit.exe)
- goto the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar

There are 3 sub keys: Explorer, ShellBrowser, WebBrowser

In each of these sub-keys is the entry for ITBarLayout

For IE Toolbars: The WebBrowser Sub-key directly affects IE.
For Windows Explorer Toolbars: The Explorer Sub-key directly affects
Explorer.
The ShellBrowser sub-key may affect IE as well. Its effect on IE and Windows
Explorer is unknown at this time, so if the first option doesn't work,
delete the ITBarLayout value here as well.

Choose the relevant sub-key and right click where it says ITBarLayout and
select Delete.

The deleted value will automatically be recreated for you.

Automated fix available for dowbload from:

(OR)

Delete the Key "Toolbar"
Restart Windows. The toolbar configuration is not reset to defaults.
