Move the menu bar in IE7

Try as I might, I can not get used to the new position of the menu bar in IE7. I find it really annoying to have it underneath the address bar. If this annoys you to, here's how to move the location of the menu bar in IE7.

1) Run the registry edit program but going to Run... typing regedit and hitting Enter.

2) In the left-hand pane, expand the (+) sign next to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then the (+) next to Software, then the (+) next to Microsoft, then the (+) next to Internet Explorer, then the (+) next to Toolbar, then select the WebBrowser folder.

3) On the right-hand pane, if you see a parameter named ITBar7Position, double-click on it and set the value to 1. If there is no such value, in the left-hand pane, right-click on the WebBrowser entry and select New then DWORD Value. Give the new parameter a name of ITBar7Position. Once it is added, you can then double click it to set the value as 1.

Once this change is made, you need to close IE7 (if it is running). Next time you run IE7, the menu bar will be back above the address bar where it clearly belongs :)
