I started MATLAB, but I am unable to see the standard panels such as "Current Folder", "Workspace" or "Command Window". They appear to be missing.
How do I reset the layout of MATLAB?

In the "Home" tab in the MATLAB toolstrip, click "Layout" and select "Default." This will return the MATLAB workspace to the default layout.

The easiest way to reopen the Editor is to run the edit command, either to open an existing file (if you specify the file name as the input) or to open a new, blank file (with no input.)
edit
edit why.m
Or if you don't like typing, press any of the first three or four icons in the File section on the Home tab of the toolstrip (New Script, New Live Script, New [most of the options will open either the Editor or the Live Editor], or Open.)
