Its working and my menu bar is on TOP...for a free 1k download which took a whole five seconds to install, its worth it. Get it, and dont forget to thank the developer for the FREE program.

It does what it says on the tin... but like the other reviewer mentioned, it screws up any toolbars you have present. My Google toolbar is now directly below the command menu, with the address bar and tabs below that. Slightly more confusing, so I'll see if I have it another week. I must say however that I don't really use IE7 that much unless it's for updates, which I could still get using AutoPatcher mind you. My advice would be to download and install. If you like it fine, if not there IS an uninstall reg key in the file. If IE7 is not for you I highly recommend the most secure browser of all. Opera. They DO know what they're doing, trust me.

I have become very familiar and comfortable, over the years, with IE toolbars. Why did they have to change such basic stuff! I just downloaded the IE7 Menu-on-Top Tweak, and IE is back to I like my toolbar!

As already said by many others, this quick fix does exactly what it says it'll do, puts the menu bar at the top of the IE window. Keep in mind, however, that if you have any extra toolbars, such as the Google toolbar, they too will be moved to the top of the screen above the address bar, which can be a slight annoyance for those used to having extra toolbars located beneath the address bar. But, if you don't have any extra toolbars, then this fix is perfect.

Regardless of whether or not you believe the menu bar is actually needed, the fact is that *IF* it is set to visible then it should obviously be at the top. That's exactly what this tweak does. You can still choose to turn it on or off at will, but when visible it no longer has that awkward 'out of place' look in the middle of the toolbars. Excellent.

For reasons best known to itself, Microsoft has decided not to have the menu bar at the top of the IE7 screen where it should be. What this registry tweak does is to add a dragging handle to the menu bar so that you can put it wherever you like. Maybe Microsoft will add this feature to a future version of IE7, but at the moment this simple tweak is the only way of doing it.

It works. Why someone would review their opinion of whether or not the tweak is necessary is like those conversations you have with people who are always hijacking the subject off to something else other than the topic at hand. I downloaded it, applied it, it works (and it's free!), therefore it gets my rating accordingly - not on whether or not I think you should subscribe to a religious argument.

It's a shame that someone has put in some hard work writing software that's not needed. As mentioned before, the Menu bar is made redundant by the options being available at the Toolbar Icons and therefore not needed, plus giving more workspace.

Everything in menu bar is already available w/o having to display menu bar, the idea was to have more screen space. This is something for those resistant to change rough times ahead when Vista debuts, good luck.
