How to Stop the Toolbar From Hiding in Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer (IE) is the default web browser for the Windows operating system. The browser has one or more toolbars at the top of the screen that may disappear or become hidden when your mouse is not hovering over them. This allows you to use the entire screen space for the web page you are viewing. The browser's setting can be changed, however, so that the toolbar does not disappear.

Instructions

1. Open Internet Explorer, which is found on your desktop or under the "Start" menu.

2. Move your mouse to the top of the screen so that the toolbar is visible.

3. Right-click on the toolbar to open a dialogue box containing toolbar options.

4. Check the box next to "Full Menu" so that it is no longer selected.

5. Click anywhere on the screen to close the dialogue box.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also press the "F11" key on your keyboard whenever Internet Explorer is open to stop the toolbar from hiding.
