Hi Gerry.
Some time ago I was having problems accessing the menus in internet explorer
on my windows 8 laptop. I found the solution by accident. This may help
anyone who is starting out with windows 8 and internet explorer.
What you have in windows 8 are both aps and programmes. So, there are two
internet explorers. If you press enter on internet explorer on the start
screne, the ap will open and you won't be able to access menus. To solve the
problem:
1. Go to settings by pressing ctrl + I.
2. press enter on control panel.
3. Tab to network and internet and press enter.
4. Tab to internet options and press enter.
5. Press ctrl tab until you get to the programmes tab.
6. The first option you will hear says "choose how you open links" arrow
down until you hear "always in internet explorer on the desktop.
7. Press tab once and you'll hear "open internet explorer in tiles on the
desktop". Make sure this option is checked.
8. tab to apply, press enter and tab to ok, press enter and your done.
The next time you open internet explorer from either the start screne or the
desktop or the taskbar, if you've pinned it there you'll be able to use the
menus.
Hope this useful
Damien.

Hi Damien,
I think it was you that was asking about there being no menus in certain
programs like internet, I think that there might be on screen buttons
instead for history, view etc. if |I'm incorrect please forgive me
