Re: Losing the toolbar

Showing the Menu Bar in Internet Explorer

https://www.lifewire.com/display-the...plorer-4129260

You can show the menu bar either temporarily or set it to display unless you explicitly hide it.

To temporarily view the menu bar: Make sure that Explorer is the active application (by clicking somewhere in its window), and then press the Alt key. At this point, selecting any item in the menu bar displays until you click elsewhere on the page; then it becomes hidden again.

To set the menu bar to remain visible: Right-click the title bar above the URL address bar in the browser and tick the checkbox next to Menu Bar. The menu bar will display unless you check the box again to hide it.

Alternatively, press Alt (to show the menu bar), and select the View menu. Choose Toolbars and then Menu Bar.

As you are on Internet Explorer try downloading Google toolbar.

Used it for years brilliant.

Re: Losing the toolbar

Google “how to restore toolbar on IE “ it’s easy .
It’s happened to me several times
I think also pressing F11 key might do it .

Re: Losing the toolbar

Hi Muddy

If you've lost everything at the top of the screen then all you did was accidentally hit the F11 key. Just hit it again to restore it all. It's a useful feature sometimes when you need to see the entire screen.

If you still have something at the top of the screen, i.e. some kind of information like favourites bar or other, then you've simply managed to disable one or more other "bars".

Simply RIGHT click your mouse anywhere at the top (not on an actual icon) and you will get the options for:

Menu bar, favourites bar, command bar and status bar. Just tick them back on again one by one to see which one was missing.
