Following tutorial will help you in forcing Internet Explorer to always show Menu bar:
1. Type regedit in RUN or Start menu search box and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor.
2. Now go to following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft
3. Create a new key "Internet Explorer" under "Microsoft" key.
4. Create another new key "Main" under "Internet Explorer" key.
So the final path would be:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
5. Now in right-side pane, create a new DWORD value AlwaysShowMenus and set its value to 1
6. That's it.
NOTE: To disable Menu Bar again, you can either delete DWORD value AlwaysShowMenus or set its value to 0.
PS: If you want a ready-made registry script to do the task automatically, download following ZIP file, extract it and run the extracted REG file. It'll ask for confirmation, accept it:

I asked how to turn on the menu bar in IE MOBILE in Windows 7.5 phone and all I get is CRAP ABOUT IE 9 & 10. I've Tied everywhere to get an answer but it seems MICROSOFT is making believer windows phone 7.5 DOES NOT EXIST!!!I I'VE BEEN A MICROSOFTIE SINCE dos 3.2 and this is the worst treatment I've experienced since my 1st computer, an Intel 8086 AT&T MACHINE. I AM SOOOOO SORRY I BOUGHT A WINDOWS PHONE. When I bought my windows phone I was so happy I finally got a smart phone. I waited years for MS to bring out a Windows Phone and when it came out I was overjoyed. THAT didn't last long. There was NO booklet of any kind about the OS OR how to operate the phone or change settings. I had to hunt for days on HTC & Microsoft's sited to find anything, half the time NOT finding anything. I am so disgusted. I have decided to forego Microsoft Phones in favor of Android or "GOD HELP ME", Apple.
