How do I restore Ubuntu's default interface?

Question

When I downloaded and install nvidia drivers, both the top bar and bottom bar disappeared. When I removed them, some applications worked, but the bars are still missing and fancy shortcuts such as alt+tab don't work. Thus, I'm not sure how I can restore a screen I minimized. How do I restore it as it was, or should I use this time as opportunity for change?

Maybe the easier way is to setup a new account from scratch and to get all of the data you need from /home/your_username to /home/your_new_username afterwards.

Next time, when I am doing a Google search, I must remember certain keywords: "dash" and "launcher". The answer is this: https://askubuntu.com/a/76951/110280
