    This is great, and down bellow is probably so-colled Microsoft way to resolve this:

    1. Log on to your Windows Professional computer as an administrator

    2. From the Start | Run dialog, type gpedit.msc | {Enter}

    3. Navigate to User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Internet Explorer

    4. In the right-pane, sort by Setting and scroll to “Moving the menu bar above the navigation bar”

    5. Change this to an Enabled state.

    Voila!

    […] Much better. No more disorientation for browser users who jump between Firefox, Opera, and IE 7 [via]. Now that Microsoft is rollowing out automatic updates for Internet Explorer 7, I can certainly bet that new users will feel a little disoriented with the new layout. […]
