Command bar

The Internet Explorer browser includes a command bar that provides easy access to almost every setting and feature in the browser. The command bar is located near the upper-right side of the browser or as its own bar, depending on your version. The command bar can be turned off if desired. It can also be customized, including larger icons, changing buttons, showing or hiding button text, and it can be resized or moved. Below are two examples of the Internet Explorer command bar.
