As noted in Microsoft\u2019s Dec. 15, 2011, Exploring IE blog, the company\u2019s plan is a slow rollout of IE Versions 8 and 9 to all Windows XP, Vista, and Win7 users who have automatic Windows Updates turned on.<\/p>\n<p>IE 9 has been offered to users as an optional update (prechecking the update box), but this is the first time a new version of IE has been set to automatically install. If you previously said no to IE 9 on Vista or Windows 7 (or IE 8 on Windows XP), Microsoft will continue to respect your wishes \u2014 neither of those browsers will automatically download to your machine.<\/p>\n<h3>Fixing what Microsoft did to your IE settings<\/h3>\n<p>Although I like Internet Explorer 9\u2032s new features, I\u2019m not thrilled with its default interface \u2014 a sort of Google Chrome clone. So the first thing I did after installing IE 9 was re-enable all the toolbars, menus, and favorites I used to see in the previous versions. I also chose the option to show tabs on a separate row.<\/p>\n<p>If you, too, prefer the classic IE look, follow these steps: Right-click the upper edge of IE9. A hovering, popup menu should appear, as shown in Figure 1. Click those items you\u2019ve used in the past and would like to see again. As you\u2019ll see in Figure 2, I checked Menu bar, Favorites bar, Command bar, Status bar, and Show tabs on separate row.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 424px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/download.windowssecrets.com\/images\/wsn\/W20120126-TS-IE9withoutoptions.jpg\" title=\"ie9\" width=\"424\" height=\"346\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Figure 1: IE 9 in its bare-bones, default look, sans menu bars.
