   The Great Vanishing Menu Bar Problem
  So, my menu bar has vanished.I mean; just gone.Disappered into the night.Without a letter even explaining why.Its been like this a while infact, but until just now I didn't need it, now I can't find a way to get it back.This is in explorer, not IE, and I didn't tear it off or anything, machine just started one day and it was gone. I suspect IE7 beta of something but even ticking and deticking the 'menu bar' option on that didn't help matters.So, anyone got any ideas on how I can get it back?Thats how it looks now [sad]

Then S'Drive came along and stole Menubar away from O'Drive, they ran away into the night to start again somewhere, O'Drive followed them and sought revenge...oh what a tangled web.   ;  Obviously it's because you're running with the XP theme, an interface so hideous, Windows itself is now hiding from it. :)It's just some registry corruption. I've seen it once before. The article Xelen linked to should do the trick. I've also seen various other oddities, such as having two program lists in the taskbar. It may have been caused by a poorly timed crash.   ;  yep, Xelen's link did indeed do it, I guess I searched google for the wrong combination of key words *chuckles*   ;Quote:Original post by Xelenhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;555130:)Quote:Open the affected program (Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer) and verify that you're Menu bar/Toolbar has been restored.  If not, close all open Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer Windows and repeat the above step.  Then locate the ShellBrowser sub-key, open it and delete the ITBarLayout value there. Wow and I thought that only young children made this spelling mistake!   ;  Awww he's called Wibble...cute. Mine are beige and silver..after their colors.
