Since I started to use a computer back in 1990, the menus of every single application have been located at the top of the screen.  So when Microsoft decided to put the address bar above the menu bar in Internet Explorer 7… well, I just had to get rid of that.

Now this “hack” requires a little bit of registry editing, so the standard warranties apply.  Don’t do this unless you’re comfortable editing the registry.  Don’t know what regedit is?  Then this “hack” isn’t for you.

Step 1.  Open regedit.

Step 2.  Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser\

Step 3.  Create a DWord Key.

Step 4.  Name of DWord Key: ITBar7Position

Step 5.  Value: 1.

Step 6.  Close and reopen IE7.
