It's possible to hide both your Toolbar (the bit with the URL and search windows and the Page and Action menus) and your Menu Bar in Safari for Windows. Once you've done that, you've got no GUI controls available for getting your bars back.


To recover from this situation use the "Show/Hide Toolbar" keyboard shortcut:


Ctrl-Shift-\


Once you've got your Toolbar back, you should normally have your Action Menu back. (The Action Menu is that wee coggy thing that lives to the far right of the Toolbar if you haven't customised your Toolbar to put it somewhere else.) Click the Action Menu to see "Show" commands for all the other bars, as per the following screenshot:

Replace bars as desired, using the "Show" commands.

Version 2 removes instructions on how to hide the various bars (they had caused some confusion in at least one case), and adds a screenshot of the "Show" commands in the Action Menu.
