MINIMIZING THE IE3 TOOLBAR

Q. Is there a way to reduce the size of the IE3 toolbar to leave more room for Web page content?

A. You can completely eliminate the toolbar if you like. Choose View, Toolbar. Toolbar is a toggle command and when the toolbar is in view, the Toolbar command has a checkmark beside it. Choosing the command removes the checkmark and the toolbar. If you want even more space, choose View, Status Bar. This is also a toggle, and selecting it turns off the status bar.

This leaves you with only the menu bar and maximizes the Web page space. To turn the toolbar and status bar back on, just reselect the options as described.

If you don't want to completely remove the toolbar, move the mouse over the bottom edge of the toolbar. When the cursor turns into a vertical double arrow, drag upward. If you drag the toolbar up as far as it will go, you'll have a single-line toolbar with all the components crammed into the small space.
