Tweak your IE 7 Settings

We came out with our IE 7 Search bar remover a few weeks ago, and since then we have had some suggestions on some tweaks people wanted us to add.

Hide/Show the command bar.

IE 7 Command bar

Hide/Show the main menu

IE 7 Menu forced on

Wish granted:

IE 7 Tweak Utility

It can be found in our download section

If you want to change these on your own, here are the registry changes we are making to tweak IE 7:

The command bar can be changed by creating this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\CommandBar\

If you want to hide it, create a dword value named Enabled, and set it to 0

If you want to show it, create a dword value named Enabled, and set it to 1


The search bar can be changed by creating this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftware\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Infodelivery\Restrictions

If you want to hide it, create a dword value named NoSearchBox and set it to 1

If you want to show it, create a dword value named NoSearchBox and set it to 0


The menu can be set within the browser, or via this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftware\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

If you want it to show all the time, create a dword value named AlwaysShowMenus and set it to 1

If you want it to auto-hide, create a dword value named AlwaysShowMenus and set it to 0

Finally, you can force the menu to go all the way to the top of IE, instead of just in the middle of all the buttons. To do this, create this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftware\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser

If you want it at the top, create a dword value named ITBar7Position and set it to 1

If you want it at its default position, set that value to 0

I wonder where the name for that value came from? ITBar7Position - Only Microsoft would know. It looks like a typo - its not. You might think it would be IEBar7Position...not so.
