Solved Menu Bar in Explorer

[sourpuss]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this; I didn't know where else to do it.

I've been having a problem with my menu bar in file explorer. I've posted this question elsewhere, but so far, no one has been able to help

I've begun hiding my menu bar recently and I noticed something annoying, and judging by other people's screenshots, it's not supposed to look this way.

If the pic shows up, look above organize and you'll see a fat white bar where the menu is collapsed. It's as if it isn't collapsed completely, or maybe it has something to do with padding(?)..I don't know. I just cannot get rid of this, and it's really distracting on dark themes like this one, though it shows up on all themes, even regular windows aero.

Any ideas? It's drving me nuts!:sa:

Since when has this line been appearing?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I've always shown the menu bar since I got this computer last year. I've only recently (this week) stopped using it because some of the themes I downloaded don't color that bar like the rest of the window. That's when I first noticed it.

Maybe there are some problems with your monitor or your graphics card. Maybe your colour/refresh rating is too low? Check out every setting that you have and post it. Maybe it could be like a virus infecting your graphics.

Sorry, I'm not exactly sure where to look for the information. Unless you can direct me where to go, all I can tell you is my screen refresh is 60 hertz *lol* And I do regular virus and malware scans.

NVidia control panel??...sys info? yikes, I feel stupid.

Hello Sourpuss,

Have you already tried the usual way to disable the Menu bar? Hopefully the line will go away after disabled.

Hope this helps,

^Disabling the Menu bar is the most logic thing. I've never found a use for the Organize button.

Thank you both for trying to help...got it fixed :D I had apparently done everything there was to do, except for one obvious thing....LOCK the toolbars, and then hide again. Never even thought of that, but now all is well and I can finally enjoy my dark themes (yay!)

I absolutely did NOT think it would be something that simple..I'm no geek, but am a long-time user of Windows, and thought I knew a few things. Boy is my face red :P

Thanks again!

Sourpuss,

LOL, that was simple enough. Thank you for posting back your results and solution.
