📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses how Windows 7/Vista hide the classic menu bar by default and how to display it again. The key Q&A is that pressing **Alt** temporarily reveals the menu (File/Edit/View/etc.), but it hides when the focus leaves; to make it permanent, users should go to **Organize → Layout → Menu Bar**. Overall sentiment is practical and instructional, with no significant controversy or negative feedback.

To show the "Menu Bar", just click on "ALT", but, as soon as you click on another portion of the window you're viewing, it hides again.

To keep the "Menu Bar" permanently, just click on "Organize" and from that drop down hover over "Layout" then select/click on "Menu Bar"

You will also notice that the "Menu Bar" in Vista and Win 7 does not contain the "Favorites" button
