Where's my Menu bar?

Post by glsimonsen » Sun Jan 23, 2005 4:43 am

Hi, I made my menu bar go away with the View menu. Now I can't get it back. Help please.

hit the arrow on the bottom right of the screen and it will go back from fullscreen mode.. i think you also can hit F11?

Thanks, but nope, it doesn't come back. I've tried every arrow on the screen and the menu bar won't return. Shutting down and restarting doesn't work either, it's just gone. I don't see any keyboard command for this either in the manual.

Thank you michaellacy and others who tried (F11 key didn't work). Throwing out the preferences worked and I have my menu back. Much appreciation. Glenn
