Missing Menu Bar in Visual Studio 2010

Question

When I opened up Visual Studio 2010 this morning, my Menu Bar (you know, the bar with File, Edit, etc. on it) was missing. I've tried all of the right-click menus, customize options, Function keys and Google searches that I can think of but to no avail.

This is exactly the kind of humiliation that brings sobriety to my ever-growing ego as a developer. I'm actually posting this on StackOverflow.com for the world to see. Next, I will be just as humiliated when someone replies to this and tells me precisely how simple it is and how ignorant that I am for not knowing the simple key combination or finding it on Google. Thank you, your majesty, for your sharp retort in advance.

Answer 1

Sounds like registry damage, HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0_Config perhaps. Try running devenv.exe with the /ResetSettings command line option first. Next is rerunning setup.exe and choosing the Repair option.
