[Qgis-user] Re: Default QGIS template for Windows users

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

Not all, or lets better say, nearly no Windows user really knows what the  
registry is and what to do there without crashing the system, so answers  
like "look in the registry" are not really helpful!

The disappearance of toolbars is a quite common problem in qgis.
I found  
http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/toolbars-which-are-moved-are-away-td4476255.html  
where is said, that you have to remove
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QuantumGIS\qgis\UI\state
in the registry.
When you restart qgis, the key is written again with the default state,  
and all toolbars are visible again.
