Restoring toolbars

You want to know how to restore your toolbars when the toolbars and menus are unavailable.

To restore your toolbars

1. On the Start menu (Windows), click Run.
2. In the Run dialog box, enter regedit.
3. In the Registry Editor, locate the following key (where X is the version of Inventor®):
   
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersionX.0\DockingAreas



4. This key has the following subfolders: BrowserBar, MenuBar, PanelBar and Standard Container.
5. These folders all contain the following keys: 'Floating' (which should be set to 0 so they're docked) and 'Visible' (set to 1 to make it visible).

Warning! Problems caused by improperly editing the Windows registry could render your computer operating system unusable. Microsoft provides a wealth of critical information that you need to know about the registry in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

Use the Microsoft® Registry Editor only at your own risk and only after backing up the registry as well as the system.dat and user.dat files as outlined for your operating system in the Microsoft Knowledge Base and in the related Autodesk solution, http://usa.autodesk.com/getdoc/id=TS66513. Additional information about the registry is also contained in the Help topics in the Microsoft Registry Editor.
