How can I get my IE5 menus back? (This question re-posted so that aht-ga

Hi gasser-ga:

Thanks for re-posting this, and I hope that everything is still working for you.

Here is the answer I provided in the other thread:

The only ways I am aware of to cause the menu bar to not appear in
IE5, are
 
1. Deselecting it on the list of Toolbars (right-click on the button
bar, or Alt-V, T), or
2. Adding an undocumented restriction to the Internet Explorer
policies, along with documented restrictions on changing the Toolbars,
or
3. Running IE5 in full-screen, or kiosk, mode, where the menu bar is
hidden by default (but where there is no title bar, either), or
4. Opening a new window using Javascript, with window.menubar.visible
= false, or
5. Your computer is subject to the bug/fix described in MS Knowledge
Base Article 234012,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;234012
 
Based on your testing, it appears that neither 1 nor 3 is the culprit.
4 is unlikely, unless your home page is set to a maliscious site. 2 is
also unlikely, but is still possible. However, to check on this, you
will need to use RegEdit to locate and view any IE policy restrictions
that may exist.
 
That leaves 5. Please note that the fix for 5 is included in the
recommended update for Internet Explorer, which currently means
downloading and installing IE6 (SP1).
 
For the scope of this question, you are best advised to download and
install IE6 (SP1), to eliminate the possibility of your machine
suffering from the problem described in MS KBA 234012. Sorry if that
isn't the answer you wanted to hear, but it may be the only way to fix
this problem.
 
Please feel free to ask for clarification. If you are willing to
accept this as the Answer, please let me know.
 
Thanks!
