IE7 Menu Bar

[davidboothe]

1) Ho do I get the IE7 Menu Bar back at the top WHERE IT BELONGS and
not locked WHERE BILL GATES WANTS IT?

2) How di I get the Refresh and Stop COMMAND BUTTONS on the COMMAND
BAR where they belong right by all the other COMMAND BUTTONS so I dont
ahve to move all the way across the screen for those two buttons
specifically?

3) How do I get rid of the SEARCH BOX on the address bar. I am fully
capable of going to Yahoo or Google to find what I need. I really
dont need the overhead of adding that into my browser stufing it all
up.

4) There is no four but three all by themselves looked so lonely!

Thanks...

Well, that isn't were bill gates wants those things to be - that the kind of
information they get form Microsoft Research.

Anyway, you can get the menu bar back by pressing the Alt key - which will
make it visible. To make the change permenant, go to View > Toolbars > Menu
Bar.

The search box is there to tie it in with the rest of the Vista user
interface. Of course you are capable of going to google or yahoo to search,
but if all you have to do is type it in the top of the screen, it is that
much easier to search.

Who's to say "where it belongs". Just because you are use to see it there
using IE6?

Things change and we must adapt or be left behind.

Thanks... Any idea on how to address item #2?

 

[davidboothe]

1) Uh yeah sure... I am confident that MS did legit reserach that
found that people wanted their menu bar mover below the address bar
for no reason what so ever except to change the way windwos interfaces
(OS and ALL apps) have been since day one.

2) If you had read the question correctly you would have seen that I
did not ask how to get the menu bar to turn back on, I asked how to
get it bak at the TOP where it belongs and not below the address bar
where it doesnt belong. Thanks to the other person who replied I got
a real answer to my question and not the "I cant believe you question
the though process of microsoft because they are god and know whats
good for you" answer I got from you. But thanks for playing!

The menu bar has been at the top of the window since day one in
Windows and all windows apps. There is and was no reason what so ever
to move it. If it aint broke dont fix it. No we mustnt 'adapt'. Its
absurd for ANY programmer to randomly wite code that locks a user form
using software how it best suits the users needs when doing so has
ZERO effect on the program. IE7 and Vista both have some new features
that are nice, but the VAST amjority of the changes were cosmetic and
simply made for the sake of making changes. The only people who like
all that fluff, glitz, and look cool bullshit are AOHell users (and
maybe Mac users).

 

[Dale]

Those changes, as well as the re-organization of the toolbar were just
change for change's sake. If they don't make it different enough, how do
they justify trying to get people to install it?

It works and I use it. And I am getting used to it. But it is definitely
not a good UI.

Isn't is the ADDRESS bar that some don't like? Everything else is the same,
once you learn how to view it.

You don't have to be so testy to him. He just tried to help. It might
have been confusing because of your misspellings.

I don't like what they did to IE7, either, but then I haven't used IE
since Firefox 1. You could go to Firefox and things are laid out like
you are used to seeing.

 

[Daniel E Jameson]

In IE 6 I had rearranged the toolbars into a format that is somewhat similar
to what IE7 has. But just because they came up with something similar to
what I like, it doesn't mean that I approve locking it in and that I can't
change my mind. Just like Office 2007, I get one tool bar and two very
similar places to put it. No floating tool bars. Though I do know that
menu users in the older versions of Word would somehow end up with half
their document window filled with toolbars that they had no idea about.

It was probably the tech support people that told MS to simplify the button
mess.

Cool if I dont have to use IE7 then how do I use IE6 which is FAR
better?

 

[Bill Condie]

I missed the beginning, WHAT two buttons?

REFRESH and STOP

[Bill Condie]

They're both at the end of the address bar

REFRESH and STOP

 

[JoMomma]

No shit sherlock. That was stated in the question... The question was
how to move them to the command bar where they belong with the rest of
the buttons rather than have to scroll all the way across the screen for
those two buttons. Step #1 read the ****ing question.
