Move The Menu Bar In IE7

If your used to having the menu bar at the top of whatever program your using like me, then you probably don’t like how IE7 hides the menu bar by default and then puts the menu bar under the address bar when you enable it. Any decent programmer/developer knows that you never move the navigation. Kind of like when you build a website… it makes it just a wee bit difficult for visitors when you change the navigation around from page to page. After giving us the menu bar at the top of all of their programs for many years, I think M$ should know better than to change it. Enough with the rant, on to the hack.

Your going to have to make a reg file so fire up notepad and copy/paste the text in bold below:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerToolbarWebBrowser]
“ITBar7Position”=dword:00000001

Now save your text file with the .reg extension ex: iemenubar.reg

After you’ve saved the text file just double click on it to add it to the registry.

Restart IE7 and you should see the change.
