Default Find files and folders

If you hit the ALT button and click EDIT, you will see FIND on the drop down
menu.
This is a little different from the original.

Default Find files and folders

If you hit the ALT button you should see another bar just above the tool
bar, this has always worked in XP & Vista as well as in Windows 7.

Default Find files and folders

Hi, Desmond.

The WLM Team decided that the familiar Menu Bar was just wasted real estate,
so they decided to hide it, by default. Many WLM users still haven't found
out how to show it, and we get questions about it every day.

To show the Menu Bar temporarily, just press Alt. To toggle it on
semi-permanently, use Alt=M, M.

This is the Menu Bar (with File, Edit, View, etc.), which is not the same as
the customizable Toolbar. I don't recall the default buttons on the Toolbar
because I changed them long ago; mine currently starts with New, Reply
group, Forward, Print...
