not really sure what you mean by "FX view" but its okay.
You might be referring to the Browser. Just hit the "B" key to open it back up.
When it is open there are little tabs on the browser that allow different views to be seen (Media, FX, Presets).
You can also try "I" for the inspector. that might be what your talking about as well.
You can always use the tab on the very top of the screen as well. The VIEW > Browser or any other view you may need back in sight. Don't be embarrassed at all my friend.
Its all about terminology and names of things which will help you explain yourself clearer.
We all go through that every day.
