@la00: Were you able to fix it at least? Or do you still need help with this?
la00

It’s quite strange there is no clue how this thing happens.
martin

@la00: I agree that what @merlinuwe wrote cannot help – Reinstalling WinSCP with keeping the configuration cannot change anything.

Regarding the registry entries: In the current version of WinSCP, the values are ToolbarsLayout2 (not ToolbarsLayout).

Hello, same problem. The registry edition could not work as the entries did not exist.
Uninstalling/reinstalling works but without ini backup. If I load the backup, the problem occurs again.

The trick with the registry didn't work for me. But this:

  1. Be sure not to wear some flowers in your hair, but to have a backup of your configurations. ;-)
  2. Uninstall WinSCP
  3. Install WinSCP. Now the Menu is visible again.
  4. Load your configurations (see screenshot).

Re: Main Menu Bar Locked To Monitor

@jknickrehm: Make sure you close WinSCP, then delete the registry keys, and only then start WinSCP again.

Main Menu Bar Locked To Monitor

My Menu Bar (Local Mark Files Commands Session Options Remote Help) Is stuck in the Upper Right Corner of my Main Monitor.
I can move The Window to any of my screens, But the Bar stays Fixed in position on my Main.
I cannot move the bar.
I can Only drag the right side to change the shape and orientation of Words.
Left Upper Corner stays Fixed.
Almost looks as if the top part of the bar is off screen.
When Winscp has the focus the Bar appears, If I click on something else and WinSCP looses the Focus it Dissappears...

I don't know how it got outside the window.
How do I get it back into My Winscp?
martin

I understand. But there's no way how a user can hide main menu. So naturally there's no need to have simple way to show it again. I do not know how it happened to you. Are you able to reproduce the problem?

prikryl, thank you. However, I find it troublesome having to edit the Windows registry to get the menu back. Could you please explain how this can happen that the menu disappears and why can't we get it to be displayed in some simpler way? Thanks again,

John

Re: Main menu disappeared

Go to registry and delete:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2\Configuration\Interface\Commander]
"ToolbarsLayout2"="...."
 
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2\Configuration\Interface\Explorer]
"ToolbarsLayout2"="...."

(edited in 2023 with new value name – ToolbarsLayout2)

Somehow the main menu disappeared. How do I get it back? Thank you,
