One way is to reset all the toolbars to factory defaults. This will mean that
you'll lose any customized changes to any of your toolbars.

Close excel
windows start button|search
look for *.xlb
rename all of them to *.xlbOLD

Restart excel and see if that fixed it.

If it did, you can delete those *.xlbOLD files.

If it didn't help, just close excel and rename them back to *.xlb.

You could also be a little more selective.

Open excel
hit alt-f11 (to get to the VBE where macros live)
hit ctrl-g (to see the immediate window)
type this and hit enter:
application.commandbars("worksheet menu bar").enabled = true

Then back to excel and try to use:
tools|customize to reset/show any toolbar you need.

Excel menu and all toolbars are missing from the display. ALT+f does
nothing. Only thing displayed is formula bar and name box. Nothing else.
Can't get it back
