Toolbar & menu missing from Windows Explorer - Win XP
The Toolbar and menu is missing from Windows Explorer on a Windows XP
machine. There is just the title Bar and then the files directly under that. I cannot right click on anything that will give me the option to show the toolbar and menus again. Please assist if possible. -- Margy |

Please assist if possible. -- Margy Following a long overdue update to IE 7 from 6 on XP - I am having the same problem on several machines (oddly not ALL). And (at least in my case) it is NOT a full screen (F11) issue -- pressing F11 does nothing. I join Margy in asking for HELP! |

Note that you will be deleting the ITBarLayout registry entries that may have gotten fouled up. They will be recreated the next time you run Explorer, or IE. Close all open Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer windows. Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar Use one or both of the following steps, as appropriate for your situation: * For Windows Explorer: In the details pane, locate the Explorer subkey, and then open it. In the details pane, locate the ITBarLayout value. Right-click this value, and then click Delete. * For Internet Explorer: In the details pane, locate the WebBrowser subkey, and then open it. In the details pane, locate the ITBarLayout value. Right-click this value, and then click Delete. On the File menu, click Exit to exit Registry Editor. There is also an ITBarLayout entry in the ShellBrowser key. If the above doesn't work, delete that one. You can delete all three ITBarLayout entries if you are so motivated. They get recreated with default values. Now... how did this happen? What a crafty thing for some malware to do. Download Malwarebytes free software, install, update and do a full scan. Please report your results. |
