Please could you tell me where can I find the File Manager Preferences
in Ubuntu … (now for 16:04 LTS).
The menu bar has disappeared from Nautilus, as also have the resize handles and the top-bar right-click menu (except for 'Close'). The window gets a little smaller every time I open it, it's gradually disappearing and I can't presently correct it.
I'm using Gnome not Unity, so the fixes for unity don't work.
I would have preferred to add these observations as comments, but I still have too few reputations to do that, so have to ask a new copy of the same question instead.

On Ubuntu 17.10.1, the top left corner of the screen next to Activities, you'll find Files with a drop-down arrow:
Click on Files, then in the list that appears, click on Preferences.
