Lost my drop-down menu?

[odymoe]

Don't know how or why, but I cannot see my drop-down menu list anymore. The FILE, VIEW, etc. menus, not the toolbar menu icon's.
Anyone?

Well, not sure what happened? Most likely it was *un-docked* somewhere. Tried basic un-install, re-install but had the same results, (no drop-down menus). Then I un-installed, deleted remaining reg keys and deleted couple of ini and "ued*.*" files found in windows directory. then re-installed again.

My drop-down menus re-appear at the top of the page!!! Suspect it was the *.ini file but by time I realized it I had already deleted registry entries for ultra* and IDM*.

-for what its worth

Anyone know how to fix this issue? I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but I seem to have completely lost my drop down menu.

I have done as thorough a search as I know how on these forums and in my help files, but cannot get an answer. Is it a simple ini configuration change to get the menu back?

I left the computer with UE open, went out of my office, came back and UE was closed, the icon was removed from my bottom quickbar, and when I opened it though my start programs, there was no more drop down menu.

Help please

Hey 1BCNell again!

It seems, that you have one or more colleagues, which changes your settings just for fun. You should activate a screen saver with password protection or simply lock the machine (Windows 2000, XP) every time you leave the computer. Locking the machine can be done with the key combination Win+L (Windows logo key plus L). See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=294317 for details about windows default shortcut keys.

To the UltraEdit problem:

Like your file tab, the menu bar is undocked and floating around, maybe outside the visible area or only a small piece of the menu bar can be seen. If possible, change the monitor resolution temporary to a higher one, to find the bars again.
Or use the trick with the INI setting ControlBarsFromReg described at viewtopic.php?t=162 which not only restores the file tab, but also the menu bar (and all other control bars).

THANKS!!!!

Quick 5 minute fix! My partner swears by UE, he has used it since it came out, and I absolutely love it and have used it for 2 years.

About the *accidental* docking

Yeah, unfortunately the switched settings are the fault of a MS Optical mouse rather than an overly friendly co-worker. It has a mind of its own and begins to move and clicky clicky on it's own. Not a virus mind you, just XP and the MS optical mouse issues. You'd think a MS mouse would not have these problems. Registry clean up will fix the problem, but I have been lazy and not cleaned it out and reinstalled as there are many entries to wipe. Guess it's time!!!

Thanks again very much for your help. I'm all back to happy.
