Or Ctrl+F on an English keyboard. Not sure of the French (or Flemish) ones!

On a blank area at top top of IE7, right click and add the Menu Bar. That is where all the IE6 commands are, and Microsoft, in their never-ending stupidity, hid it. Find is under the Edit menu and it works fine, and just like IE6.

You can go a step farther (I did) and do a google search for putting the Menu bar at the top of IE7 (I did that) and the whole thing just works better. Unfortunately, it takes a registry setting to do that.

Thanks for the replies

The Ctrl+F thing works and i've also add the menu bar at top, I found the tweak in a .reg file

It's so much better with the menubar back, it gives more possibilities.. i thought microsoft disabled that menubar in IE7

huh what? it's faster to point at the menu with the mouse than just hit a keyboard combo? I'm glad they hid it as it gives more screen space.

Nothing hurts me more than to see some of my friends using a WS 14 or 15" XGA LCD with all that plus 2-3 toolbars on top. There's probably 4" of space to read stuff then you have to scroll. OUCH.

The CTRL+ combos work great and helps keep away clutter from silly menus.

Also you don't need a reg tweak to have the Menubar stay if you want it to. All you need to do is go to View - Toolbars - Menubar and it'll stay there all the time.

What you say is true, but where it stays without the tweak is UNDER the address bar. The registry tweak puts the menu bar at the TOP where is was in IE6 and where it continues to be in most all other applications. ... JDH

ooh ok, didn't know that. Eeh... i guess if you're on XP then it kinda looks outta place without it. I dropped XP since Vista beta days and been running it on a T41 and now on my T42

I didn't even know about that patch.
