See attached image.

I have:

Deleted my maya folder
Looked at all of the settings in maya
Reset the main menu bar from the menu set editor
Reset my prefrences
Deleted the “menuSetPrefs” from my maya folder
Used my friends “menuSetPrefs” file

None work.

Anyone know how to get it back without reinstalling maya?

The really weird thing is that it shows up in the hotkey editor.

As you can see mainFileMenu is on the list of common menu arrays, yet it still doesn’t show up.

I think mainFileMenu must have been renamed to something else at some point or the file it’s backing up from is broken somehow.

//Menu Set Preferences ( 1.1)
//
//
menuSet -permanent 0 -hotBoxVisible 0 -label "Common" -menuArray { "mainFileMenu""mainEditMenu""mainModifyMenu""mainCreateMenu""mainDisplayMenu""mainWindowMenu""mainAssetsMenu" } commonMenuSet;
menuSet -moveMenuSet commonMenuSet 0;
menuSet -permanent 0 -hotBoxVisible 1 -label "Animation" -menuArray { "mainKeysMenu""mainGeoCacheMenu""mainDeformationsMenu""mainEditDeformationsMenu""mainHumanIKMenu""mainSkeletonsMenu""mainSkinningMenu""mainConstraintsMenu""mainCharactersMenu" } animationMenuSet;
menuSet -moveMenuSet animationMenuSet 1;
menuSet -permanent 0 -hotBoxVisible 1 -label "Polygons" -menuArray { "mainPolygonsSelectMenu""mainPolygonsMeshMenu""mainPolygonsEditMeshMenu""mainPolygonsProxyMenu""mainPolygonsNormalsMenu""mainPolygonsColorMenu""mainPolygonsCreateUVsMenu""mainPolygonsEditUVsMenu" } polygonsMenuSet;
menuSet -moveMenuSet polygonsMenuSet 2;
menuSet -permanent 0 -hotBoxVisible 1 -label "Surfaces" -menuArray { "mainEditCurvesMenu""mainSurfacesMenu""mainEditSurfacesMenu""mainSubdivSurfacesMenu" } surfacesMenuSet;
menuSet -moveMenuSet surfacesMenuSet 3;
menuSet -permanent 0 -hotBoxVisible 1 -label "Rendering" -menuArray { "mainShadingMenu""mainRenTexturingMenu""mainRenderMenu""mainCartoonMenu""mainStereoMenu""mainCreatorMenu" } renderingMenuSet;
menuSet -moveMenuSet renderingMenuSet 4;
menuSet -permanent 0 -hotBoxVisible 1 -label "nDynamics" -menuArray { "mainNParticleMenu""mainNMeshMenu""mainNConstraintMenu""mainNCacheMenu""mainNSolverMenu""mainFieldsMenu""mainEffectsAssetsMenu" } nDynamicsMenuSet;
menuSet -moveMenuSet nDynamicsMenuSet 5;

Edit: FIXED
Fixed the issue, a file called fileMenu.mel found in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2012\scripts\startup folder was corrupted somehow. I replaced it and everything is working normal again.
