Thanks Biggles but that's a tedious exercise. It should stay there up for me because I use favorites a lot whilst browsing and also the inprivate browsing.

You said you were talking about the Menu Bar.

Are you actually talking about the 'Favorites Bar'? That does stay up there (IE8 & IE9), and I use it all the time too.

If you right-click at the top and tick 'Favorites Bar' it will show all the time.

If you mean you want all your favorites to show all the time, click on the star for the favorites drop-down and click the arrow that is visible at the top, the side bar will be visible all the time then.

yes, I'm talking about the menu bar which also has an option to look at favorites



and the view button which has all the tool bars options

and I'm not at all used to firefox or opera or any other browsers; I have firefox as a backup and I don't enjoy using it at all. I want my IE8, and this update thing on the tray ...



... to vanish

As stated by Danmanchester, If you select Menu bar & then select Lock the toolbar the Menu bar stays on permanently in IE9.

Without making any changes, the favorites are available with a single click on the 'Star' at top left, and the tool bars options are available with a right-click at the top.

Not sure why the uodate reminder stays on the tray, when I spurned IE9, it didn't stay there past the next boot up.

Did you see the new IE9? You must've, considering the control freak it is imposing on your page asking for it to be updated.

Is there a way to rid of this? I could've ignored it, but then that would mean I'll miss out on important updates.

You should be able to hide updates at https://www.windowsupdate.com so you are not reminded again.

Select Custom, deselect IE9 update, select "Don't show this update again" so it is hidden from regular updates.

I have IE8 update hidden. :rotfl:

If you have Windows 7 run windows updates, click where it says how many updates there are, or optional, remove the tick for IE9 then left click it to highlight, then right click, click hide this update

That's clever thanks. Done. The update icon on the tray has vanished

There's no option to ask not to be reminded. Each time I logon to the computer it slows down because of this update settling itself on the tray.

Of course there is. See that other button on your mouse/trackpad? Place the cursor over the update list in Windows Updates, press it and select "Hide"

I don't like the new IE9 because the silly thing doesn't have a menu bar.

Like the menu bar you can enable but was removed by default because most people turn it off to get more screen real-estate?
