Here is a Tip that will get a lot of frustrated CorelDRAW and PHOTO-PAINT users out of a jam.
If they find menus disappearing, default settings changed, things just not working the way the used to, I suggest this. When launching CorelDRAW or PAINT hold down the F8 key while starting the program. A dialog box will appear and ask the user if they wish to reset the default program settings. YES will restore all their setting back to the way they were when the program was first installed.

Thanks Corelman!
Well gang, Jim's right. Restoring the default menu settings is a great way to overcome the "what happened to my ???!" hassle that's a problem with nearly every program that has customizable menus. If Jim's explanation wasn't clear enough, here's how to do it:
- Hold down your F8 key
- Launch CorelDRAW (however you normally do ... double-click the desktop shortcut, go to Start » Programs, etc.)
- Click "Yes" when the following dialogue box appears:
That's it. Corel will then start with all the menus, tools, etc. looking good as new.
