How could this POSSIBLY be a virus? You can see what it does right there. However, if you aren't familiar enough with … how things work to feel comfortable doing this, you probably shouldn't do it. Or use computers. Or sharp objects. Or milk.

Yes, I've just done that & it works. Hopefully, Bradley, you've already got an answer to it; but as I've just done it, I figured I'd reply as someone else might want to know!

I appologize, but if you really think this is a virus, then you are exactly what you say you arn't, ha-ha.

Thanks. What about IE8 under XP, SP3?

Is it the *same* hack?

Nice guide, pretty complicated at first but your instructions are well detailed. It worked for me, but it is not that a big problem for me whether the menu bar is below or up as long as it is working and do its functions.

I use IE8 as my primary browser (I use Opera and Chrome too) and I do not use menu at all but it's nice recipe. :)

Another great recipe, thanks. Not that I use IE8, but it'll be handy for when someone else asks me how to do this. Cheers!
