after installing IE7 on my workstation, i noticed one thing that really annoyed me ,
the position of the menu toolbar.
for those that installed the browser, you probably noticed that the menu bar is positioned right below the address bar.
Ok, who tha hell in Microsoft thought that it will be convenient ?
Well, after doing some digging on the net, i found some interesting info about it (apparently not only me considered this "feature" as annoying)
So, what have i found ? what should we do to get things back to normal ?
(this is not the wanted position)
apparently, the only way is to change some registry values (aren't we love Microsoft ?)
- go to the registry editor : (type RegEdit in the Start-> run)
-
go to this path :
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser"
-
add a new registry value and name it "ITBar7Position"
-
Change the value of the new object to 1
(this should look like this :)
-
restart your Internet Explorer
-
you're done !
now your IE7 menu bar will be placed in the normal position where it should be
if you don't want to mess around with the registry by yourself, you can download the file attached to this post,
it should do the job for you.
enjoy !
