1) Right click anywhere on the toolbar - The "Customize Main Toolbar" window opens. 2) Drag any button from "Available Toolbar Buttons" to the "Main Toolbar" area of the "Customize Main Toolbar" window. You may be tempted to drag it all the way to the top toolbar. Don't. 3) Click OK and they should be there.
