Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / July 2007Missing Command bar and tool bar in Vista 64 bit browser
My 64 bit Vista IE 7 browser has lost all the toolbars. No pull downs, no command bar, no stars for favorites. Otherwise it works fine. My 32 bit browser is OK. Any suggestions? There's nothing at Microsoft for this-only similar problems for IE6 and XP. Have you recently reset this browser?

See if the default shortcuts are present in that folder. If the "Links" folder is empty, you can create those missing shortcuts by right-clicking on a blank area in the "Favorite Links" area in explorer, and selecting the option "Restore Default Favorite Links". OTOH if the default links are present but not displayed in the Favorite Links section, this may be a result of removing the "IsShortcut" registry value for shortcuts (.lnk file type.) See: Favorite Links in the Windows Explorer navigation pane is completely empty: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/159/1/  SignatureRegards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com -- Gistcheckin > My 64 bit Vista IE 7 browser has lost all the toolbars.

IE chat transcript excerpt The 32-bit is a 32-bit application which acts just like the IE7 on 32-bit systems. This is the default IE since most add-ons and activeX controls are only written as 32-bit applications. The 64-bit version is a true 64-bit process that is run. - rezanour (Expert) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/chats/transcripts/06_1012_ez_ie.mspx Look in Regedit while you're using the 64-bit IE browser. Do you see this key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar There should be 4 folders listed under it (32-bit for sure) Explorer Quick Complete Shell Browser Web Browser SignatureGistcheckin > I couldn't have, I don't have a tools pull down.

This may explain why everything's missing. IE 32-Bit is the default 1) You've never had the features you say are missing in IE 64-bit? Or, 2) you have had them in IE 64-Bit and now they are missing? If the answer is #1, then I believe this would be by design. SignatureGistcheckin > I see only the shell browser and the web browser.

In this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\CommandBar is there a Value, in the right-hand pane, with the Name "Enabled" (no quotes)? By default, that Value Name isn't normally there. If it is there, either delete it, or set its Data to 1 (by right-clicking it and choosing Modify). >I used to have them.

Try uninstalling the keyboard driver Restart windows and let the system locate/install the driver As for the Command line in Hkey, it is not there but can be added. If you want to do it yourself, the instructions are here: The command bar can be changed by creating this key: http://www.intelliadmin.com/blog/2007/01/tweak-your-ie-7-settings.html HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\CommandBar\ If you want to hide it, create a dword value named Enabled, and set it to 0 If you want to show it, create a dword value named Enabled, and set it to 1 There are two scripts here 1) Hide and 2) Show http://blogs.msdn.com/noahc/archive/2007/03/12/hide-the-ie7-command-bar.aspx SignatureGistcheckin > Also, my right mouse button is dead and the delete key does not work when in > the 64 bit browser.

If 32-bit is fine then I'd leave it alone. You can test it with 64-bit. Back up the registry first should you have problems. And, you can always go back and delete the key by selecting the key then going to Edit>Delete According to what I've read, registry keys are basically the same when you have both bit versions. You can double check that information because I have 32-bit only. You might wish to check IE Extension Development for info as well. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=924&SiteID=1 SignatureGistcheckin > There is an option for dword (32 bit) and qword (64 bit).
