I wonder if the file Menusetup.tr, that you will find in a subdirectory 
off the home directory of Mathematica, has been corrupted. This file 
contains a specification of the entire FrontEnd menu, and people 
sometimes edit it to augment the menu in various ways.

If this was a problem, you could copy a clean version from nother 
machine with Mathematica loaded, provided it was the same version of 
Mathematica and the same operating system.

Of course, the other, more general answer might be to remove Mathematica 
and re-install.
