Click to expand...

Right click on the menu bar (where you see File, Edit, View, etc.).
In the menu that appears, click on Standard Buttons.

If that doesn't work, you can click on the View menu and make sure Standard
Buttons is checked under Toolbars by clicking on it.

Good luck

thanks for the response! But the menu bar is what has gone missing all
together, from the right click start to explore I see folders on the left but
nothing on top anymore to even get into to adjust! I hope someone is still
here! Thanks again
 
See if the XP_ToolbarFix.exe utility available from this web site helps.

If that doesn't fix the problem, take a look at this article from Microsoft.

It's always a good idea to run System Restore and create a restore point before
editing the registry.

Good luck
