Hide your IE Explorer menubar by modify reg file.


Recommended Posts

I hope it'll help you...

Tested on Windows XP SP1

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\ShellBrowser]

ITBarLayout

offset 24h = 03 hides menubar

offset 24h = 00 hides everything (menubar & buttons ...)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser]

ITBarLayout

offset 24h = 02 hides menubar

offset 24h = 00 hides everything (menubar & buttons ...)

Hi all!

I hope this thread is still active, cuz I REALLY need your help...

What exactly does offset 24h mean?

I have found these registry keys (but mine are named Explorer and WebBrowser) and really NEED to remove the menubar (for professional reasons) but can't see how... :p

Help?

:cry:

24h is the address, i believe.

why not just use the files that have been uploaded? they work.

Because at work when I tried to download the zip-file archives, windows only said they were invalid or something like that, but I guess it was my corporate firewall or such since I could download them without probs at home.

And sure, a zip/rar/reg file is just excellent, it absolutely does the trick! But I also want to learn how to use the offset 24h information since not all forums/sites has such comfy reg files for download...

One of these days, I might HAVE to edit the reg manually with that information myself, and it would feel a lot more safer if I actually trusted myself with what I am doing ;)

Oops, delay that last one - THEY DON'T WORK :|

I extracted a "hidemenubar_addressbar" file which regedit does not seem to recognize, and it is full of jibberish... Can't read it :(

I really need to find out what offset 24h means since I can't use the files :(

Did you other guys have any luck extracting any .reg files?

Cheers :)

drahnier , thanks a lot for your help.

Yes. i want something like that. but just wondering if it could be acheived by using some sort of registry keys.

i tried that program. it does hide it but you can recall the menus if you memorzie the keyboard shortcuts.

Gaz00, I knew that. that's not what i was actually looking for. but thanks for your help anyway. :)

    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
