Which icon was it? You can put it back by right-clicking the panel and clicking "Add to Panel". Then, select the icon you removed.

ok I just want to reset the menu bar because it's totally meshed up

Ok... now i know what you are trying to do. Firs of all, run this command in a terminal:

sudo nautilus ~/.gconf/apps

Delete the folder "panel". Now, re-login and everything should be back to normal.

You might have to do the command in a shell before logging in.

Don't worry about the shell for now. Try this in the terminal:

sudo nautilus /home/thomas

Now, type in your password when it asks:

[sudo] password for thomas:

You won't see the password on screen. When you've entered it, click Enter on your keyboard. The file manager, "nautilus" should open in a new window. In view, at the top of the file manager, make sure that "Show hidden Files and Folders" (or something like that) is ticked. Now, try to find the folder ".gconf" and go into "apps". Try to delete the folder now.

Restart your computer, and everything should be back to normal. Hope this helps!

Hmm.. that might make a bit of a difference. I'm not sure about it in the Netbook Remix, I'll see if I can find a way.
