It seems that my "layer Control" button at the top has been replaced with 'Autoclean Settings'.  I like the new Autoclean settings button but, I kinda miss my layer control.  Is it gone forever?  If so, how can I prevent a layer from being cut but NOT delete it from the file?  
Also, I accidentally closed the Layer/Object Properties box and couldn't get it to show again (I finally closed LCAM and re-opened and there it was but, is there a way to show and hide it without getting out of the program?
Thanks,
Sid
