Hello all,

Over the years Photoshop has shown a great delight in, about once ever month or two, resetting itself to factory defaults. Now I notice it has taken to hiding a lot of my menu items and I have to click ‘Show all menu items’ every time I open a menu. Most frustrating. And I can’t find a way to force the blighter to do the decent thing and keep on showing me all the menu options. Can anyone tell me how to do this as the help files are less than forthcoming.

Thanks all,

Phil

Investigate the Edit > Menus dialog.

And it sounds to me like you need to do some MUCH deeper digging in the course of your troubleshooting.

There’s NO WAY your preferences should simply "reset them selves to default every month or two."

You really ought to nail down why that happens, because it’s NOT normal, intended or expected behavior. You shouldn’t be living with that nonsense.

I’d offer some clues, but I’m a Maccer.

Thanks, yes. You’re right. It happens both on my laptop and desktop. Weird.

It normally happens when the computer shuts down (intentionally or inadvertently) when Photoshop is still running.

Depending on what you were doing at the time, it is always advisable to give PS a while to tidy up before you hit the shut down button.
