Ubuntu – How to show the menu bar in Thunar in Xubuntu 15.10

filemanagermenu barthunarxubuntu

I accidentally hid the menu bar in the Thunar file manager, how can I make it visible again?

Simply press: Ctrl+M

This shortcut is shown in the View menu.

Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t).
Run the following command:
```
exo-preferred-applications
```
Next, go to Utilities > Default File Manager, and choose the file manager that you want to use as your default.

Couldn't find a clean way of resolving this, so did a complete reinstallation of vlc, based on user2325513's comment as follows:

sudo apt-get purge vlc

Searched for files containing "vlc" in their name using

find / -name vlc

Deleted all configuration files found using this as

rm -r ~/.config/vlc
rm -r ~/.cache/vlc

Installed vlc using apt

sudo apt-get install vlc

Found that vlc had its menu bar back!
