Laptop GPS World

Good morning. New member here.

I own Microsoft Streets and Trips 2007, testing 2008....same issue between the two:

I cannot find help with getting my menu bar to reappear. I accidently hid the menu bar (the long bar of menu options just under the long blue title bar at the top of the window).

The help section in S&T says to press F10 to access the menu, but that doesn't work either. All the other built in keyboard shortcuts work (Ctrl + key)

Is there a way to force S&T back to default views?

Thanks and I look forward to using this forum in the future. I take my S&T with me when we go R'V'ing so I'll be around.

Main menu bar present:


Main menu bar missing:


Hi Hardwood. It's not your fault, you didn't accidentally hide the Menu bar. Streets & Trips 2007 and 2008 have this issue. I don't know what causes it, but I do know how to bring back the Menu bar.

First download S&T Keys. When you are going to download it, please don't click "Run", but rather click "Save". Save it to your desktop (or another location of your choice). Then "Run" it from there by clicking twice on it.

Make sure Streets & Trips is closed. Then run S&T Keys to start Streets & Trips. When S&T Keys starts your Streets & Trips, the Menu bar should reappear.

P.S. It's the F1-key (not F10) that opens S&T Keys menu. It's just a pop-up window that lists available shortcuts.

If I missed something, let me know.

OK how do you make it hide?

LOL, I knew sooner or later someone would want to hide it

Regedit:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Automap\15.0\ ToolBars-Bar0

if you want to hide the menu bar: "Visible", "REG_DWORD", "1"

or if you want to unhide it: "Visible", "REG_DWORD", "0"

I'm not sure if there really is any practical reason for hiding it. You'll gain a little bit of map space, yes . Have fun.

Sweet: got any more?

Ben, I should have mentioned, just for the record, that you have to do the above registry change before you start Streets & Trips. You will see the change in the application the next time you start it.

I was hinting about a reg tweak to make the navigation screen a little thinner,
That giant black bar eats a lot of screen area.

or changing the red arrow to a custom bitmap: just cool stuff you may know about and are willing to share.
