A much desired hack for IE 7

If you're like most people, you're using a version of Internet Explorer (abbreviated as IE). You might not have made the switch to IE7, but when you do, there is one hack that I highly recommend. By default, IE7 runs without a menu, like shown below:

To enable menus, simply go to tools (it's just a little bit underneath the 'X' in the upper right hand corner), and there will be an option near the bottom called 'Menu bar'. Click on this and the menu bar will appear, but not where you would expect:

(Do you see it?)

Ok, we can fix this. Fire up the old trusty 'Regedit' tool (** Disclaimer: only modify the registry if you are comfortable doing so. Failure to be cautious can cause you to be the owner of a $500 paper weight). Navigate to 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Toolbar/WebBrowser/'. Now, left click below the current keys in this folder and select “New > Dword (32 bit) value”. Name the new value 'ITBar7Position'. Once created, modify the value and change it to be 1. Exit the registry and restart IE7. If successful, you should see something like this:

That's much better.
