Title: Move Menu Bar to the top in IE7
Post by: Simon on October 29, 2006, 01:40

Not that I'll be using it much, but if, like me, you would prefer the Menu bar at the top in IE7, rather than underneath the address bar, here's how to do it:

Always back up your registry before making changes.

1. Close IE7 then go to Start > Run > regedit.

2. Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser.

3. Highlight the "WebBrowser" folder, then in the right pane, right click > New > DWORD Value.

4. Where is says "New Value #1" rename it to "ITBar7Position"

5. Right click the new key, select Modify, and in the box where it says "0" change it to "1"

So much better! Thank you! You'd think when you "unlock" the toolbars you would be able to move them... but no, not with IE... :P

lol, yes I use Firefox all the time, but when I use IE to compare websites or test them I was getting really annoyed with the menu. Anyways, thanks again, lol.
