Resolved [RESOLVED] IE8 No Home Icon?

On XP machine I have recently updated IE7 to IE8. On the tools bar I can see no "Home" icon.

Also, when I go to Customize, "Add or Remove Commands" is greyed out.

Can anyone help please? Thank you.

Maybe its a screen resolution issue. Is there a tool or two you can remove? If so - click on one of them and see if the Remove button UNgrays itself.

Thank you for your suggestion Steve. I removed the Google toolbar, stop and refresh buttons but it made no differance. "Add or Remove Commands" is still grayed out.

ALT M will do the trick in the mean time

I think you might be in the wrong place...Do you see the words TOOLS on the upper right of you screen?

Tools->Toolbars-> Customize buttom

Well....I feel really silly now. My Command Bar wasn't ticked so I wasn't seeing the "Home" icon and the "Tools". My sincere apologies for taking your time.
