You can disable tabs in the options if you don't like them. It saves a browser launch many times if you use tabs, though.

There is no space there. To use the menu bar, just hit the alt key and the menu bar will appear. Hit alt again, and it will go away. This provides the maximum vertical viewing area, which is what I want. This is why the menu bar was put under the address bar. I disliked several things about ie7 and ie8 at first, and one was that the stop/refresh moved to the middle of the address bar, but it turns out they made an option to move it back if you like. I complained, but now that I have the option to move stop/refresh over with the back button, I realize I like it better where it is. Many of the choices seem wrong, but if you look closely at all aspects, many times they are right. How many of the previous complainers really realized there was no problem after all? I for one. Good luck! If you uncheck the menu bar, and turn off the norton bar, the address bar is right over the tabs. There is no space there.

Every Microsoft upgraded version is a complete annoyance for the users ... and only dumb mnagers can decide upon forcing you to upgrade. Thanks God that this is not my home computer ... otherwise I would have prefered to wipe out everything and reinstall ... Microsoft is just adding hundreds of totally useless and unfriendly "features", so that to make you pay more money and have your work efficiency downgraded ... Who asked for this stupid "tab browsing" feature ??? Who needs it at all ???? Best Regards to everybody and I am happy for not being alone in this world ! Iudith Hello All,

Microsoft does that, I have noticed. Every upgrade is a downgrade. Something is made better, more things are made worse. This is done so that the public will keep upgrading and upgrading hoping the next version will be fixed, but actually go around in circles, so they can make money. That is why I hate "upgrades" as most are degrades. THANKS FOR THE TIP.

This was easy to do with IE6 but it's clear that in Microsoftland 'new and improved' versions of their products means that useful and/or handy features are removed at the whim of some faceless techie without bothering to get feedback from those who are going to use these 'new and improved' versions. Their arrogance knows no bounds. I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling put off by the width of the address bar in IE7

The right hand menu is like a someone moving your steering wheel in your car to the other side. Athough! I strongly recomend everyone to try the "vastly" superior application - Firefox. It comes with a left menu al-carte, and oodles more. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ Thank you so much for this handy tip.

It's forced for every window. I am forced to use Internet Explorer for Netflix, and it keeps crashing trying to go fullscreen, and in windowed mode that blasted address bar takes up valuable space. Anyone know of a way to at least place the address bar BELOW the body content? Since XP, Windows doesn't allow you to move the menubar above the top confines of the screen. At least if it were below the content (in line with the status bar) I could move it below the screen. If only they would allow customization where you can totally remove the address bar.
