Hide your IE Explorer menubar by modify reg file.


Recommended Posts

I'd never run a reg file without a much better explanation of whats going on.

However, welcome :)

you can open the reg file in notepad/wordpad and see what it is putting where... after looking at it personally, it tosses a few hex values in an internet explorer/toolbar spot... i don't think this is a big risk for computer security...

does it remove the menu in all windows?? eg internet explorer and normal windows?? or just ie??

edit: just downloaded it. how come theres 3 reg files?? {i'm a noob at regitstry editing.. :wacko: }

3rd edit: and does it remove the meu's from programs such as photoshop and flash mx? (cus i wanna use object bar) ;)

cool trick!, and how do u hide the address bar as well?

Okay, this is ridiculous. Why do you want to hide your address bar, and stop yourself being able to type in any URLs?! Anyway, to hide address bar, right click on the toolbar. and uncheck Address Bar

i want to remove the address bar in explorer only, not in IE. im not using IE anyway.

i know how to turn off address bar manually, right clicking on the toolbar and then uncheck the "Address". but after u used this reg tweaks, if u uncheck the address bar, the menu bar (file view tools etc) will appear again.

You can save your reg file and named "showmenubar" before you input my reg file to your reg.If you want show menubar you can input "showmenubar" into your reg and if you want hide menubar then run my reg file.

thats confusing...what is what... Which one gets it back?

Yes but you see now I am working on a registry hack to remove the start menu, menu bars, address bars... i even made one to remove icons and one to stop a GUI from loading!

and finally... one to remove all your files... its not a reg hack its called FORMAT.COM :p

God you guys are ****ing rude. I never understood why so many Neowins have such a problem with letting people customize their PC how they want to. If someone wants to hide the menu bar, good for them. Personally the only thing I use in the menubar is folder options, and that is even accessible through the control panel. It doesn't remove any functionality for me, thank you very much. With the address bar, I hardly ever use it in explorer, and I don't use IE, so hiding it is hardly an issue for me either.

Next time you be an ass and try to tell someone how to customize THEIR system, think first.

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
