The File tab is conveniently placed to the far left of the Internet Explorer 7 toolbar because it is one of the most important features. Using the options provided in the File tab will maximize your usage of Internet Explorer 7 by allowing you to view many pages at once and determine how to utilize the information on those pages, in terms of sharing links and printing and saving pages.
File Menu Hidden

Internet Explorer 7 has hidden the File menu by default in order to maximize website browsing. Although most of the menu options can be viewed from the tool bar, you can restore the file menu by clicking the "ALT" key. Once the file menu is restored, you can use all of the above functions with the file tab.
