I seem to have some problems with my computer.
One of the issues is that I can't see main menu for the IE. Right clicking
on the toolbar doesn't show anything.
I am running Windows XP Pro with SP2.
Toolbars are not dockable - how do I change that?

How can I show main menu?
Thank you,
Shimon.

Thanks but none of these works.
First - I don't even get context menu when I right click on the toolbars.

Utility also didn't help.

Thank you,

The link about reinstalling the IE. I started fixing the Windows XP and that
fixed the problem with IE.
Thanks.
P.S. I still have problem with Fast User Switch. So you know anything about
it?

You're very welcome, and thank you for the clarification on the fix. I
don't recall that you specifically defined the problem with the Fast User
Switch issue, only the Toolbar. As it is relates to the XP program
functions, you might post that issue to microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
newsgroup. :-)
