Missing Toolbar

[1581960]

Have just set up windows live mail on my new windows 10 laptop but the window opens without the toolbar (File, Edit, View etc) showing. Could someone please tell me how to find it.

Every program I've ever encountered that let's you turn the Menu bar (as it's called) on and off allows you enable it by right-clicking at the top of the screen and clicking on 'Menu Bar'.

Worth a try with WLM then, perhaps?

Thanks Buenchico, its just worked on internet explorer, but unfortunately it doesn't work in windows live mail.

Is it actually Windows Live mail that you have downloaded and installed or is it the in-built Mail App that comes with Windows 10?

If it is the later you don't get a Toolbar as such, there is some info at the following location http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2488072,00.asp

Hang on a moment. I've just remembered that the recent versions of most Microsoft programs no longer have a Menu bar anyway; they use a ribbon, across the top of your screen, instead. That certainly applies to things like Microsoft Word and a bit of googling seems to show that it's also been the case with Windows Live Mail since the 2011 version. So perhaps you're seeking to do the impossible?

If you've got a recent version of WLM you should have a ribbon like this at the top of your screen:

That replaces the Menu bar.

If the ribbon isn't showing, press Ctrl and F1 together to bring it up. (Alternative methods here: http://windowslivemailtutorial.com/show-hide-ribbon-in-windows-live-mail.php )
