Menu Bar Disappeared

How do I get my menu bar back. It has gone before and a restart of explorer made it reappear but it has gone for good thiss time.

did you tweak the registry? open the GUI registry settings editor and make sure that "hide menu bar" isn't checked (from mainframe settings)

Not sure how that happened. I did have a look at the GUI but I missed that tick box.  Thanks

menu bar disappeared

Got the same problem to deal with all of a sudden.
But how can I open any menu or option to do what Mikos suggests without a menu bar?
"open the GUI registry settings editor and make sure that "hide menu bar" isn't checked (from mainframe settings)" does not make sense to me.
Where to find this option?

Tnx

He's referring to the separate programme (found in the Program Files\zabkat\xplorer2 installation directory) called "X2SettingsEditor.exe"

Look under Layout Settings -> Main Frame ->

Make sure you close X2 before running the application.

I wonder however, how this setting could have (been) changed without any action on my part :shrug:.

This also happened to me, and this also fixed it for me ...

There is a bug here somewhere - I have never opened the Extended settings GUI before ...

Not sure I could recreate it though ...

this could be yet another warning against registry cleaners
