    It should not be this hard to have basic toolbar features like cut/copy/paste remain. This is why I hate upgrading. It is a major event to get these features back everytime.
    I am a writer I do not spending time redoing tech stuff.

    I completely agree. I get fed up with having to reset toolbars that someone else think is superfluous. I have tried right clicking the top pan to get the tool bars and it doesn’t work. I am so frustrated I am going to restore back to IE8

    So, in IE9, it is impossible to customize the style and features the top most bar except for where your TABS appear?
