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.



   1. Re: Default QGIS template for Windows users (Goyo)

2012/5/10 William G. Guthe <wgu...@princeton.edu>:
The Map Navigation toolbar has disappeared from my QGIS 1.7.4. Â The toolbar can be turned on and off under View -> Toolbars, but nothing changes in the GUI. Logged into the same machine as a different user, the toolbar appears
and can be managed under View -> Toolbars.

I assume there’s a modified default .qgs file in one user’s C:\Users
directory that isn’t there for the user who still has the toolbar.  I’ve emptied the .qgis directory for the problem user, but that hasn’t changed
anything.

Any suggestion on how to restore the default settings when they are
inadvertently changed?

Look for qgis related keys in the windows registry.
