ARCHIVED: In Internet Explorer for Windows, what can I do if the buttons and toolbars are missing?

On this page:

Internet Explorer 8.0 and higher

By default, Internet Explorer displays the menu bar. It also offers a Full Screen view that you can turn on and off using the F11 key.

If certain toolbars are not displayed, click Tools (or View in Internet Explorer 9), then Toolbars, and then select the toolbar you want to display.

Internet Explorer 7.0

Internet Explorer 7.0 offers a Full Screen view that you can turn on and off using the F11 key. While operating in Full Screen view, bring the mouse cursor to the top of the screen and your entire set of toolbars will appear.

If the toolbars don't display, they may be hidden. To check the status of your toolbars, click Tools and select the Toolbars option.

The menu bar is hidden by default in Internet Explorer 7.0. To display it, press the Alt key.

Note: You cannot choose to hide or unhide the Address Bar in Internet Explorer 7.0 as you could in previous versions.

Kiosk mode (any version)

If the above suggestions do not work, you are most likely in Kiosk mode; if so, you won't see the small toolbar when you move your mouse cursor to the top of the screen. Publicly accessible computers (e.g., those in public libraries) are often set up to launch Internet Explorer only in Kiosk mode; if so, the average user may not have the administrative privileges to undo or prevent Internet Explorer from launching in Kiosk mode. In this case, the only way to close Internet Explorer is to press Alt-F4.
