How do you reset the windows as they were when you originally opened Eclipse?

I accidently closed windows. Now I can't find the window that lists the projects, so I can't run anything. Please advise. Thanks.

PS Reset Perspectives through the WINDOW tab doesn't work to reset to the default setting, only the last screen, which I screwed up.

Also, WINDOW, SHOW VIEW doesn't help either. None of the choices are the screen that lists the projects you've installed.

Ctrl+3 and then look for 'Package Explorer' or 'Project Explorer'

It *should* work unless you previously saved the bad perspective layout.
