First shut down all running programs.

Run regedit and do a search for the word filemenu.

If you find a value called Nofilemenu under this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

NoFileMenu 01 00 00 00

Change the value of NoFileMenu to 0 and then reboot.

In case you have no experience in working in the registry, make sure you
back up. Below are some links about working in the registry:

Hi all I hope that you can help me here. Somehow the other day I clicked
on
something in OE 6 and my menu bar (FILE-EDIT-VIEW-TOOLS-MESSAGE-HELP )
disappeared. I have been using puter for about 4 years now and always
used
OE as main mail program.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out what I clicked on or how to get it
back. Yes I can still receive and send emails, but the real way was most
convenient. This way I cannot tell if messages going or not. It is very
frustrating not knowing what in heck I did to do this.

I know that if you click on "view" then "layout" a window comes up
.....but
what boxes should be checked to have that come back?

Or should I delete it and start over???

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
