[SOLVED] Deleted top window bar

I was cleaning up the top menu bar by getting rid of obsolete items. I selected an item and clicked delete and it deleted the entire menu bar. How do I get it back? Thanks.

Right click on the "tab" bar and tick the box for the menu bar.

also, Alt+F3 may bring up the menu to set the bar, etc.

I tried both suggestions and the problem remained.

I rummaged on the web and discovered that the top menu bar reappeared by installing LXDE. Then booting with LXDE and restarting selecting MATE.

Was this on XFCE, the default desktop environment?

(If not, you should have said which environment you were using!) wink
