Missing menu bar & toolbars in folder "Open" view
Posted: 10-21-2003, 01:10 AM
I suggest you visit MS-MVP Kelly's website at
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Note the instructions at the top of the page,
then scroll down to line 3,
(Restore Missing Toolbars VBS)
Right-click the hyperlink, then click | Save Target As |
to download the file, "ietoolbars.vbs",
then double-click the file and follow the prompts.
