Well I find the "Favourites" menu useful, instead of invoking the left-hand favourites pane, but, OK, I suppose you can get that with ALT-a.

Strange that they've "taken away our rights" I feel violated! :-)

>No, it can't be done. IE7 conforms more to Vista UI guidelines then XP. I've turned off the menu in IE7 and found I haven't missed it at all.

>>Since upgrading to IE7, on configuring it I had to select the menu bar, by right-click pop-up menu in order for it to appear at all. When it did appear it was not at the top, as standard. Rather the address bar, with the <- -> arrows is at top, with the menu bar below it. This is not natural to me, after all these years, and subsequently I'm sometimes "blind" to its being there at all. But when I've tried to select an "inert" part of any bar and drag it to a new postions, as in older Windows, I find I can't budge ANY of them. How to rearrange the order of bars?
