After you put a Windows Explorer window into full-screen mode on a secondary monitor, the navigation bar does not appear on a Windows Vista-based or Windows Server 2008-based computer

Consider the following scenario:

  • You connect more than one monitor on a Windows Vista-based or Windows Server 2008-based computer.
  • On a secondary monitor, you put a Windows Explorer window into full-screen mode by pressing the F11 key.

In this scenario, when you move the pointer to the top of the screen, the Windows Explorer navigation bar does not appear.

Notes:

  • The navigation bar appears if the Windows Explorer window is maximized instead of in full-screen mode.
  • The navigation bar appears if you switch out of full-screen mode by pressing the F11 key.
