The pull down menus have lost some of their shortcuts. Now most appear in
light color and do not function. How do I restore all the pull down menu
items

Hi GMG 
You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, so I can only make a
guess at a solution. Try the following and see if it helps:
This is the stored History of the addresses you typed in the Address Bar.
If you want the see all the pages you went to, including with search
engines, click on the History icon in the toolbar.
Or....click the link to open it, then copy the URL in the Address Bar and
close the site. Then paste the URL into the Address Bar and click GO. That
will open the site and add the URL to the History and it will then show in
the dropdown list.
However, if you have your History set to keep files for only so many days it
will be flushed from the History at that time, or if you clear your History
files, then the URL will no longer be in the list.

Address Bar: Why some URLs may not show up in the list
That particular feature is an anachronism called TypedURLs.
It is a 25 (max) element list which is maintained in the registry.
You can display it by pressing F4. IIRC it's actually part somehow
of the *old* IE4 AutoComplete.
Elements from that list can be included in the AutoSuggest dropdown
list (the new AutoComplete for Web Addresses). I think that there is
a TweakUI option which clears the list but I'm not sure as I don't use
that tool. In XP I have noticed that it also gets cleared when (I think)
History gets cleared using inetcpl.cpl with iexplore.exe not running.
That is its only association with History that I know of and I think it
is a recent change.
Elements only get added to TypedURLs when something is entered
in the Address bar *and* there is a successful open of what's typed.
We don't know yet if the user is actually entering anything in the
Address bar or if when it is entered a successful open is done.
If neither of those conditions are true then we would have an
explanation for the symptom (blank TypedURLs list).
Hope this helps.

I am using windows xp (2) IE 6, and the menus I am speaking about are the ,
for example, the "file" menu does not now have access to the "send to link
or page" choice, just a light grey font that does not function.

Hi GMG
Try this:
File menu - Send - Page by E-Mail / Link by E-Mail are grayed out
This problem can be resolved by setting the default mail client from
Internet Options, Programs tab. IE basically looks for the (default) here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail]
Hope this helps.
