HOW TO display the Menu bar in Windows Internet Explorer (IE)

Since Windows Internet Explorer 7 the menu bar is hidden by default, to display it you can press Alt.

If you’d like it to be always displayed follow these simple steps:

  1. Launch IE
  2. press Alt to display the menu bar
  3. click View -> Toolbars
  4. check Menu bar
  5. check Lock the bars if you want lock the displayed bars

With the same steps you can display/hide different bars: Favorites bar, Command bar and Status bar.

For Systems Engineers:

It’s possible enable/disable the menu bar setting Local Computer Policy.
Run gpedit.msc and expand
Computer Configuration node to set the Policy for all users that use the computer
or
User Configuration node to set the Policy only for current user
Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer
Double-click
or
Right-click and select Edit
on Turn on menu bar by default, choose
Enabled to enable always displayed menu bar
or
Disabled/Not Configured to disable always displayed menu bar
then click OK.

For Network Administrators:

You can set the policy as above using Group Policy Management
Run gpmc.msc in the Domain Controller (DC) and
Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here…
or
select an existing Group Policy Object (GPO), right-click and select Edit
in your

Adobe Reader Protected Mode

When you try to open a pdf file with Adobe Reader show the following message:

Adobe Reader Protected Mode
Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due a problem with your system configuration. Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?

• Open with Protected Mode disabled
• Always open with Protected Mode disabled
• Do not open with Protected Mode disabled

Adobe Reader Protected Mode

Solution 1:
If you choose one of the first two options, the file opens, with the third no.

Solution 2:
To change your system configuration, launch Adobe Reader

click Edit menu then select Preferences…
or
use shortcut Ctrl+K

Inside General category uncheck “Enable Protected Mode at startup” on the bottom of the page.
Then click Yes in the confirm alert window

Adobe Reader
You have to chosen to turn off Reader’s protected mode. In order for these changes to take effect, you would have to manually restart the application.

Are you sure you want to continue?

Adobe Reader Protected Mode Turn Off Alert

and then click OK on bottom of the page to close Preferences window.
Close Adobe Reader.

Note:
If you use the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Softgrid Client or Citrix Receiver, the Acrobat Reader is an application different from your local installation. You have to change the configuration here rather that in your local installation. I suggest you to open the file using the first option then change system configuration from this window.
