Hi guys I have done something really dumb, I have installed opensuse on a friends computer and I was going to show him how to use k3b and by accident I have enabled “on the fly burning” and thus disabled the “normalize” function of k3b, to make things worse when looking in K3b menus how enable again the “normalize” function I have somehow made the top menu bar disappear and now I don’t know where to look to reset the settings or configurations file to make K3b load the default configurations again like it was before the changes, please help me guys I don’t want to have to reinstall again to solve this little problem.
You can try to remove ~/.kde4/share/config/k3brc, that should reset all settings to the defaults.
You should be able to re-enable the menus by pressing Ctrl+M like in every other KDE application… 
And on-the-fly burning is enabled/disabled in the burning dialog, that appears when you actually click on “Burn”.
Thanks wolfi for the answer, the Ctrl+M button combination worked like a charm, the top menu appeared again, but sadly “normalize” option is still disabled because I clicked on the box that said “disable normalize audio” instead of the button that said “disable on the fly burning”, I tried to look for the file “~/.kde4/share/config/k3brc” that you mentioned but didn’t find it, so what to do next?
Well, it should be there. But ~/.kde4 is a hidden folder, so you would have to enable “Show hidden folders” in your file manager, or type this ina terminal window:
rm ~/.kde4/share/config/k3brc
Another option (to not lose all settings): open the file in a text editor (e.g. with “kwrite ~/.kde4/share/config/k3brc”) remove the following lines and save it:
[Notification Messages]
audioProjectNormalizeOrOnTheFly=false
Or just disable “on the fly burning” manually, and the normalize option should be available again. I.e. enable “Create Image” on the first tab, and maybe “Delete Image” too to remove the image files after burning.
(Solved)
Wolfi, you’re a lifesaver, thank you very much, that command fixed the problem, thank you once again!:good::):good:

A comment (I see you have solved your problem already).
You never need to reinstall to solve this kind of problems, caused by a
user misconfiguring things. At worst, you create a new user, and login
as that user instead… (also should work in Windows, by the way, or any
modern operating system). The operation does not destroy any data, the
previous user is still accessible.
To create a new user, you would do that easily in YaST, user management
module.
Another, drastic method, is to rename the entire .kde* directory.
You do not need any of this, this time; just that you have another tool
in your repertory for the next time

Thank you robin for the advice!
Also, a reinstall without removing the local configuration files will leave you the same as before, as most applications will not create a new user config if there’s one already in the user home.
You should learn how to show hidden files. There are many ways, like pressing F8 while in Dolphin, if you’re running KDE, or checking the “Display” menu in your file manager of choice.
Believe me, I know how to make file manager show hidden files, I’m no rookie, been using linux since 2007, have used many linux distros, I’m what you call a distro hopper, I have looked in hidden files but wasn’t able to find the folders that Wolfi mentioned in previous post, however it was faster to do the command Wolfi gave me to erase the k3b config folder than to keep looking for a file that I did not manage to find wherever I have looked!
Ok, after carefully looking for the file, I found it, don’t know why I didn’t find it before, maybe it’s time to go check my vision! lol!
