Open Internet Explorer and click to the right of the open tab in the empty space. There you should see some options for Toolbars. Tick the Menu bar which will bring back the usual headings of File-Edit-View etc.

There should also be an option for whichever toolbar you don't like and you can untick that one. Give the name of the toolbar you untick and someone can figure out how to remove it.
