Windows Vista: How To Show the Menu in Explorer

This trick applies to Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Explorer, it does not seem to work in Office 2007

With the release of Windows Vista there has been a departure from traditional menus. Office 2007 provides the ribbon and both IE7 and windows explorer have ribbon like menu interfaces.

In IE7 or windows explorer you can temporarily show the menu by pressing F10 (or crtl-F10 if you already have F10 bound). This trick does not work in word 2007 so I suspect the ribbon is immune to our antics and backward ways.
