810953 2009-09-16 21:57:00 The file edit view etc bar is missing in control panel,how do I get it to appear,we are talking Vista.
Thanks all.

810954 2009-09-16 21:58:00 I don't think there is one in Vista's Control Panel. If you right click in an empty spot in the window you get the View options and a few others... wratterus (105)

Thanks Wrattii.
I have 2 computers,one vista has the file edit etc,the other doesn't.

810956 2009-09-16 22:06:00 Hmm, OK. Is the theme the same on both PCs? Example... are they both running Vista Aero, or is one Aero and one the classic view? I'm playing around here and can't seem to get the file/edit/view toolbar up in Control Panel in any view/theme. wratterus (105)
810957 2009-09-16 22:12:00 Is one in Classic view one isn't?
Anyway, you should be able to press Alt in any explorer window in Vista / Win7 to display the classic menu bar.

I have played till I gave up,both are Classic.

We know it's possible at least,as one has the facility.

That's what I thought - can't get that to behave here. Works fine on my Win7 machine but not on the Vista machine. It's just the one machine so I wonder if it's got the same issues as Cic's.

810961 2009-09-16 22:30:00 Just checked it on all 11 Vista machines here, including Home Premium, Business, and Ultimate, and works on all. Unsure why it wouldn't work for you. inphinity (7274)
810962 2009-09-16 22:38:00 Whats wrong with hitting the alt key? Blam (54)
