A menu bar is a thin, horizontal bar containing the labels of drop-down menus in an operating system's GUI. It provides the user with a standard place in a window to find the majority of a program's essential functions, such as opening and closing files, editing text, and quitting the program. Although menu bars are usually present in most GUIs, they may differ depending on the operating system you're using.

Microsoft Windows menu bars
In Microsoft Windows, the menu bar is beneath the title bar. The menu bar in Windows may be accessed via keyboard shortcuts. Pressing the Alt key and the menu-specific hotkey (which appears as an underlined letter in the menu) will activate that menu choice. Below is a diagram of a Windows file menu with a description of each part of the menu.
Tip: With Windows 8 and Windows 10 and full-screen programs the menu bar may be hidden to improve the appearance of the program. To show the menu bar move your mouse or finger to the top of the screen.
