Question
Do you know what the command is that will bring back the icons in AutoCad 2002? All of the toolbars are missing.  

Answer
There is no such command per sae, Pam.  It's also not something I can tell you right off the bat.  You need to do a little investigating.  First check to see that you are using a user profile that is current.  Perhaps your user profile has the name "AutoCAD 2002" or "Vanilla".  In OPTIONS;Profiles, make sure you have the correct profile selected.  Then if menus and toolbars don't appear, go into OPTIONS; Files; Menu, Help and Miscellaneous File Names.  Click on Menu File and there you should find a menu name such as:
C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2002\Support\ACAD

If this is not working for you, try a brief reinstall of AutoCAD to repair your current installation.  No need to uninstall first.

Expertise

I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.

Experience

I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.

Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
