I have Vista Bus. When I open Windows Explorer and right-click the menubar
area the only toolbar choices that show up are the Answers.com toolbar that I
recently added to the system AND the Lock The Toolbars switch. Before adding
the Answers.com toolbar the only thing in the list was the Lock The Toolbars
switch. How can I get the Menubar, Links, Status Bar, etc. to show up in
this list?
 
Do you mean Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer? When I right click toolbar
in Windows Explorer with Menu Bar activated all I get is Lock the Toolbars.

Have you tried getting help from answer.com?
 
Yes, I mean Windows Explorer - IE works Fine! It sounds like you're getting
the same thing on your Vista.
 
I did check answers.com (thanks), but the answers don't seem to apply to
Vista. Be that as it may, I tried them anyway:
I went to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar
You will find the following 3 sub keys:
Explorer, ShellBrowser, WebBrowser
In each of these sub-keys there will be an entry for ITBarLayout.

My registry didn't have the Explorer sub-key, so I removed the ITBarLayout
from the ShellBrowser. It effected the Windows Explorer, but the toolbars
I'm looking for are still missing. I wonder if this is because I don't have
an Explorer sub-key?
