Mouse over the header separators as if you are going to resize the column, if you see 1 vertical bar with 2 arrows it will resize the column, if you see 2 vertical bars with 2 arrows - you have a hidden column. Click and drag to 'resize' the column and the hidden column should show up.
 
I know of no way to 'reset' this condition, however, as you move the cursor over the 'seam' between column headers you will normally see a cursor with a bold vertical line with horizontal arrows pointing in both directions. This indicates that you can move the 'seam' between columns allowing to make them wider or narrower. However, if you have one of these collapsed columns as you move the cursor over the 'seam' where the collapsed column 'disappeared' if you're careful you will notice that the appearance of the cursor changed from a single bold vertical line to two normal vertical lines. At this moment, if you press down on MB1 you should able to 'pull' that column out from under the adjoining one, making it visible once more.

That's the only advice I can give as even a general 'Reset Window Position' operation (found on the User Interface Preferences dialog) will not force these 'collapsed' columns to reappear.
