What version of IE are you using?

Did this start to happen after you changed from one version to another, or after you installed other new software?

control panel/system/system/performances/advanced, turn off this option for menus scroll down or similar, as in office get all the menu in a click

ok, you got me, there's more to this than my original post. it's IE 6.0.2800.1106.blah.blah.blah

i did install some software, some thai translation stuff which didn't work well so i removed it.

i tried the above 2 ideas and neither worked.

When my computer (Windows XP) starts to act up for no good reason I run a utility that cleans up the registry. In fact, I gradually got into the habit of running it every time after uninstalling a program; it’s incredible what gets left behind.

I use RegistryFix, but there are many others around (www.download.com, etc.). You get a free trial period with RegistryFix and probably also with others. There may also be some freeware around.

Tools/Internet Options/"Advanced" tab (at the top)...

"Enable Personalized Favourites Menu" underneath the "Browsing" section of the checkboxes...

Click "OK", then feel the weight of the world fall from your shoulders.

bah - u beat me to it Insight.

But anyway ... how come anyone is still using IE ?

Maxthon browser is far far better and is IE based. Opera, Firefox, and Avant also have excellent browsers ...

I feel that often new software is gimmicky and superfluous, but these browsers are so utterly superior to IE that you will never look back.

You can also tidy up your menus using Start/settings/Taskbar & Start Menu/Advanced/Advanced

You can create folders here to group programmes into more manageable sets,

rather than the higglede pigglede list you probably have at the moment.

It will make the menu list shorter and easier to display and use.

i just got a popup that said something like "where have all my favorites gone? click here to show. to disable this feature see Internet Options"!

freeking microsoft! there are a thousand options on Internet Options and none of them seem to change this behavior. i even tried reseting all my advanced settings to default.

maybe it is time for a new browser!

There is no reason that I can see why this would not work. It does for me. On the advanced options tab the option you want is the 13th down the list - you need to UNCHECK it.

But anyway, I would agree that it is time for a new browser ... There is a thread about the different browsers
