It can happen that you changed the layout of windows in NetBeans IDE in a way that you are not able to use it anymore. Every change makes it even worse. Or maybe your layout just screw up for unknown reason (yes, bugs happen).
Then there is an action in Reset Windows in Window menu. It will set the layout of all windows to default positions. The IDE will look as you started it for the first time.

Nice BTW If user want to keep many layout and switch them when need they have option by using netbeans perspective plug-in

This option would be great if it would always work...
My Tomcat output window is gone, I can't find option to turn it on, neither "reset windows" helps. :(

@Zbyszek: Tomcat output window isn't persistent it appears only when it's needed
