In vs.net, you can cutomize toolbars to hell and back.  Its plain silly what you can do.

For instance:

get into toolbox customization mode by double clicking on the lower toolbars (below the file menu)

now, you can drag a “file menu” root item from the top of the screen to the document area (whether you have a document open or not) and you'll see a small square with a small x.  Guess what that means?  delete!  oops...

Pretty pathetic notification that I am about to irreversibly screw up my ide!

Alright, how do we fix it and get our “File Menu” back?

Delete to the rescue!

find

C:\Documents and Settings\[current user]\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0\1033\CmdUI.PRF

get rid of it, delete it, destroy it.  Make it go away.

Your File Menu will restore in VS.Net.
