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. :)

    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
