Revealing Internet Explorer 9’s Menus

Here is a quickie helpful hint from the New York Times. I personally am not a fan of Internet Explorer, preferring instead Mozilla's Firefox, but I know that many of you still use Internet Explorer. I left it behind for security reasons, but believe it is now a lot safer to use than when I left it.

Q&A: Revealing Internet Explorer 9’s Menus

By J.D. BIERSDORFER

 

Q. Where did the Menu bar go in Internet Explorer 9?

A. Microsoft merely tucked the Menu bar, Status bar and various icons out of sight until you need them. To reveal the Menu bar in I.E.9, press the Alt key. You can open the various menus (File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools and Help) themselves by pressing the Alt key and the first letter of the menu name, as in Alt + F for the File menu (press Alt + A to open the Favorites menu).

To permanently restore the Menu bar to the window, right-click in the empty space next to the New Tab button at the top of the window. In the drop-down menu, select Menu bar and any other elements you want to see each time you use the program.
