IE7 annoyances and how to fix them

All fixes involve registry changes. If IE is opened, close it before doing anything. Then start your registry editor (Start -> Run, type regedit in the run field and press OK).



Put menu bar at the top

Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\
Toolbar\WebBrowser

Create a new DWORD Value, and name it "ITBar7Position". Double click that new value, and assign it with a decimal value of 1

Restart IE7


Remove search bar

Create the following key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Infodelivery\Restrictions]

Create a new DWORD Value, and name it " NoSearchBox". Double click that new value, and assign it with a decimal value of 1

Restart IE7
