I feel sure that for what you are looking is merely hidden at present but can brought back into view.
Click open Internet Explorer, take mouse pointer to top of opening page and keep right clicking along the page, about an inch from top, until you open a box containing 'Menu Bar'; and a few other items. It is my guess that you are looking for 'Command Bar'......Give it a click and also make sure that 'Lock Toolbars' is ticked...........You can keep opening the box and continually altering things without doing any harm.
