Posted by Lê Hoàng in Microsoft Windows 7
By default, the menu bar is turned off in Windows 7. Typically, you must press ALT button to see it. This step by step guide shows how to always show the menu bar of Windows 7 Explorer.

2. Press ALT to access the menu bar.
3. Go to Tools->Folder options…
4. In Folder Options window, switch to View tab, check on Always show menus.
5. Hit OK to save the setting.
