Move, rotate, scale tools wont show in uv editor

So I tried to rotate and image in the UV editor for a class project and cannot for the life of me find out how I turned the tools off.

Hi!

Try a reset of your preferences.
Rename the folder prefs in folder 2017 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2017 to 2017_backup. Maya creates new folders. Detailed at:

What?!?  I've been using Maya for years, and I never new about this "light" version of resetting preferences.  I've been doing the move-the-prefs-folder thing this whole time.  Thanks.  🙂

This "light" reset does not include all settings in Maya, so sometimes you still have to choose the folder-procedure to make sure everything is reset.
