[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.

Re: [SOLVED] Deleted top window bar

Was this on XFCE, the default desktop environment?

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