Problem with Windows Explorer Menubar

[Guest]

Hi

I have just noticed that when I run Windows Explorer that I have no Menubar, Toolbar, or Address bar. All I get is the folder tree-view on the left and the file/folder view on the right. I am unable to determine how to fix this, or for that matter how it happened in the first place

I was hoping someone on this forum might know. BTW, this is a stand-alone machine and I checked the local policy and there are no restrictions set on the display for the File menu or any of the other items

Thanks

Thank you very much! That did it. So, does your utility make a registry change? The reason I ask is that I am left wondering how this happened. At this point I am assuming that somehow I messed up the registry. I'm not looking for you to spend too much time on this, but if you could just indicate the primary cause for this sort of problem I'll be on the lookout in the future

Thanks again, this problem was really driving me up the wall. I can't thank you enough

Most welcome, Neil. It deletes the sub-keys (ITBarLayout) for Explorer,
ShellBrowser, WebBrowser. The value was automatically recreated for you.

As per why it is happening, haven't found the common glue as of yet. But
there have been at least 20 posts in the past two days.
