Everyone but you knows what WE is. You're starting to troll me now.

Give it up now. NO ONE calls Windows Explorer "WE" except, evidently,
you and your friends.

WinEx, sometimes.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375

Been there and read it.

But you evidently did not UNDERSTAND it.

I guess not since I'm not a PC technician. I'm only a PC user. Email.
Surf
the web. Work on some images..... ;-)

As I suspected, you did not read it.

Another piece of gold dust advice given to this person, and instantly
dismissed.

The helpfile in WE doesn't say how this is done. How do I get the top
toolbar back in W-7 in WE?

Do you mean the classic style menu bar that has the File, Edit, Tools,
Help
items displayed on it?
If so, when you open Windows Explorer, do you see the "Organize" button
top
left with a small arrow head pointing downwards?
Click on the arrow which will produce a drop-down list and move down to
Layout, then move across and put a tick against Menu Bar.

Thank you. That was the information I needed. :-)

If you had typed Menu Bar in Windows Help, this entire thread would not have
been needed. So many of your usability issues could be solved by looking
for yourself. Help and Support is directly accessible from the Start Menu
for a reason.

When I did it I didn't get the desired results. Just info about
Internet Explorer's menu bar. But when I searched for "Windows Explorer
Menu Bar" this is what I got:

What other information is needed? It's a HP w/W-7. WE is

and has the buttons on it. The one MS decided to hide and let
newbie's do without. Oh, and the "lock toolbar" doesn't work in
WE. The toolbar with it's buttons keeps vanishing. Buttons are
the things you click on. Vanishing means the toolbar disappears
or becomes hidden which means out of sight.

Sorry, I'm not going to play the WNYB game with you, except to tell you
that NOBODY calls Windows Explorer "WE".

Yeah. When I read her post, I had a few initials of my own: "WTF is WE?"
:-)

And I believe in the 12,327,602 replies she has received, and certainly
elsewhere in this NG, the "secret" of the toolbar in Windows explorer
has been revealed to the acolytes.

I also had a WTF moment on SysRec in her recent posts, but it only took
me a moment or two to guess what she meant by that one.

Interesting that someone who hates it when people use *standard*
technical jargon seems quite willing to introduce nonstandard jargon of
her own :-)

My friends are not MS engineers and technicians. That's the jargon we use
and all I know.

That reply is 100% non-responsive to the remark.

LOL.

And I'm still chuckling at your reply...

When I type 'menu bar' in Help and Support, it lists 30 items. The number
of items listed is probably user configurable, but anyway, the top 5 a

1)Show or Hide the Menu Bar in Windows Media Player
2)Show the Menu Bar in Internet Explorer
3)Customize the Internet Explorer Tool Bars
4)Using Menus, Buttons, Bars, and Boxes
5)Show the Menu Bar in Windows Explorer

Clicking option 5 takes me to exactly what your screenshot shows.

A responsive reply is, by definition, a reply that addresses the issues
raised in the remark or question that it purports to be a reply to.
