lock the taskbar in ubuntu

[weirdygeekpsych]

I am new to Ubuntu, my question is whenever I hover the mouse pointer on top of window it shows file menu. But I want that to be static, I mean without hovering the mouse pointer I need to access the file menus?

Is there any possible way to do that?

Hoping for an good solution

Hello and welcome to Ubuntu! I tried to make this easier for someone who is new, but you will be getting into the Terminal. Don't worry, you don't need to really understand it, but you should be fine.

Step 1:
Click on the Dash (or use the Windows key if you use that keyboard (don't discriminate against Macs!))

Step 2:
Search Terminal and click on it

Step 3:
Type in the following command (or copy and right click in Terminal to select paste because Ctrl+v doesn't work) and press Enter:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity always-show-menus true
To change it back, change true to false

And that's it!

I found the command at AskUbuntu (http://askubuntu.com/questions/25785/can-auto-hide-for-the-application-menu-be-turned-off-in-unity) by doing a quick Google search. So don't crown me genius, just a messenger who simplifies things.

If this was too simple, I'm sorry. But anyways, hope you enjoy! :D
