Unable to hide Menu Bar in Windows Explorer

PROBLEM:-

If you cannot hide the Menu Bar in Windows Vista or Windows 7 Explorer, here are some trouble-shooting steps you may want to try.


SOLUTION:-
1) First Rt click on the menu bas and uncheck Lock the Tool bars. Then, click Organize > Layout > Ensure Menu bar is un checked.

2) Click Organize > Folder Options > General > Tasks > Ensure Show preview and folders is checked > Apply > OK.
Additionally : Rt click Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Performance > Settings > check "Show preview and filters in folder" > Apply/OK.

3)Open regedit and navigate to the following key: 
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\
Under this registry key, you will see two sub-keys 'ShellBrowser' & 'WebBrowser'.

4)Go to the first ShellBrowser key and look for 'ITBar7Layout'. Delete this ITBar7Layout key.
