Do you wish the IE7 Menu bar was located where it was in IE6?

Here is how to quickly create a registry fix to move it back to the top.

After you install IE7 you have to make the menu bar appear.

Place Internet Explorer 7 & 8 Menu Bar Back On Top

Right click an empty spot on the tool bar and place a checkmark next to Menu Bar.

It will also show up temporarily if you hold down the Alt key.

You will see that IE 7 puts the Menu Bar underneath the Address Bar which we don’t want.

Copy and paste the following script into notepad.

You do not need to modify the code at all.
