I was looking for the advanced network settings on a Windows 2008 Server I noticed that the menu bar (file, edit, view, Advanced, etc) is no longer visible by default.  Guess I hadn’t really needed it until this point.  How to get it back you ask? Well there are two ways.

1.       Just like in DOS days , press the ALT key and the bar will pop back up   

2.   Now say you are ALT key challenged and don’t want to use the ALT key. Click on Organize then Folder and Search Options  from there switch to Use Windows classic folders
