File menus suddenly missing

Post by tmoca »

I have been trying Xplorer Lite now for a little while and today the file menu has vanished on the tool bar and I have now way of getting it back.

The file, bookmarks, help, etc menu.  That is missing.

Can anyone help?

Run the x2SettingsEditor.exe found in the Program Files\Zabkat\ installation folder.

Under the Layout Settings tab, uncheck the Hide Menu Bar item in the Main Frame section.

Thanks that obviously worked.

I looked over those settings 3 times!!  So many options...missed that one every time.

Thanks again.

Any idea on how it got hidden in the first place?  I haven't gone into the advance settings since I installed it.  Is there other ways to hide it other than in the advance settings?

There were a few users who had similar problems last year (see here), but no common denominator was ever determined or recreated.  The usual suspects are Firewalls and/or Anti-Virus software which can limit registry access unpredictably, or liberal use of "registry cleaners".  :shrug:

If you manage to reliably recreate the occurrence, let us know, so Nikos can do something constructive with his time instead of basking in the sun like some Greek mogul. :wink:

Thanks again, and if I can reproduce it, I will be sure to post it.
