The command bar, tab bar, and Favorites Center do not appear in the Internet Explorer window if the Internet Explorer 7 window is set to full-screen mode by the application and then is restored to windowed mode

You develop an application that uses the FullScreen property of the InternetExplorer object to set the Internet Explorer window to full-screen mode or to windowed mode.

• The application runs on a computer that has Internet Explorer 7 installed.
• The application sets the Internet Explorer window to full-screen mode.
• Internet Explorer is then restored to windowed mode.

Additionally, the CTRL+TAB keyboard shortcut does not work.
