Is there a registry hack to hide the windows explorer menu bar and the address bar (file / edit / view etc). If anyone could provide me with the reg files it would be much apprieciated.

Ideally i would like to have a reg hack that

a) removes the bar;

b) reg hack to restore it to the windows default.

Thank you in advance :)

If Shaywoods .reg works its easy (havent tried it- i like the menu bar(but minimal)

To restore it easy once you have the .reg tweak for it

Before you use his .reg simply back up \ export the line it is changing

open Shaywoods .reg with notepad

find the locations where it changes things in the registry

which are:

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

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

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

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

hence

simply Export this line

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

Then run his anti menu tweak

so if you want it back to default simply merge the "default" exported.reg file.
