I just upgraded to IE7. When I had IE6 all of the menu items , including the address line where in a single line on the top of the browser, leaving the rest of the screen area to display the webpage. Now with IE7 the minimum that you can customize the top of the browser is to have two lines: one for the address bar plus search bar, and a second line for the tabs and additional functions. If I choose to add a menu bar, it will add it as a 3rd line. So end result, I have less screen area left for displaying a webpage with IE7 as compared to IE6. I tried to customize the top menu to fill everything in a single line, but I couldn't. Is it possible? Thanks.
