    [SOLVED] Can't open the Applications menu.

    I was removing unwanted items from the Applications menu,and now the menu no longer appears when I click on the menu bar. When I click on it, it's highlighted and a small square appears directly below the Applications entry. I tried to do a PrintScreen to attach to this entry, but it didn't work while the Applications icon(?) is highlighted.

    I know this is a bit vague, but I can't express it any better. Sorry. Can anybody offer any suggestions, please?

    Try right clicking on the applications menu, go to edit items and see if there are any left

    To get a terminal command to put its output into a file use this format
    {terminal command} > {filename}

    Try - right clicking on the icon next to the Applications menu and select remove from panel. This will remove the menu altogether.

    Then right click and add the menu bar from the list (Its the customized one), with the same icon.

    Does that reset it?
