How do I bring back IE8 menu bar to the top of the window? How to Move the Menu Bar Above the Address Bar in IE8? The decision to move the address bar doesn’t make any sense, if it is for cosmetic changes just to prove IE7 and different from IE8, then by all means this is the biggest failure.
Below is a simple tutorial on how to move the menu bar below the address bar, just like good old IE7.
1. Open up Notepad (or right-click the desktop, mouseover New and select Text Document).
2. Copy and paste the following into the new text document:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser]
“ITBar7Position”=dword:00000001
3. Save the document as ie8_menubar_above_address.reg.
4. Double-click the new file to merge it into the Registry.
5. Continue through the UAC prompt and confirm that you wish to perform the action.
6. Restart you computer (or simply stop and start Explorer.exe from the Task Manager).

I copied and pasted the code into notebook, but it did not work for me.
Even though the message box said that the info had been merged successfully into the registry, no entry was written into the registry.
Very strange !
So I entered the info manually into the registry, and it worked.
I then exported the key from the registry, and studied both reg files carefully, loooking for maybe a typo or extra space.
Lo and behold, the difference was the style of the quotes around ITBar7Position.
Your quotes did not work, but mine were okay !
How truly bizarre !
Can anyone offer an explanation ?

@Krystyna: It’s because the quotes used by wordpress are actually different characters from a normal quote, I’ve had similar problems before.
