Okay, now how did this happen? IE ?

[kathryn]

I'm onliine, surfing and posting, and suddenly the top navigation bar and the bottom information bar are gone from IE! The top one reappears if I hover my cursor near it. The bottom one seems to be out for the count.

I know this has happened in the past, and I figured out how to get back to 'normal view,' but I have no idea how (and I have no idea what mysterious combo of keys I might have inadvertently hit to make this happen....unlike for some people, this was all my doing...no cats involved.)

I know if Shelley reads this, she'll have the answer.

I just hope SOMEBODY does, because it's annoying!

TIA!

Did you try hitting F11?

 

[jodijodi]

Yeah, try F11. It toggles "full screen mode".

Cool!! I didn't know that

F11?
Who knew ? (Obviously you, but not me!)

I feel like I've been initiated into a secret society, and only now have the magic password!

F11...as simple as that!

Thanks, Jennie!
Worked like a charm!

(So did I probably hit F11 accidentally before? Or is there another magic key that takes the bars away?).

Yes, you probably hit it by accident and toggled it on.

I didn't know about it either till I accidently hit it one time and had to take a picture (of the computer screen) with my cell phone, text my friend with the picture and ask how to get my screen back to normal.
