Hi :)
There are 2 advantages to NOT un-installing users configurations when the
package is un-installed.
1. When you reinstall again later on everything is set-up the way you like it.
2. You might have templates, dictionaries, even images in the gallery that might
be painful to lose
Both can be a huge advantage when upgrading or reinstalling.
Being able to rename the config folder so that you get back to "factory
defaults" for LO saves the hassle of having to reinstall just because something
went a bit wonky. It can be an excellent quick-fi and can also be used to
trouble-shoot down to exactly where a problem occurred.
I wonder if it's possible to copy&paste the config to different machines (eg in
a corporate network) so that they all have some good settings? I might play
around with that on Wednesday (if i remember).
It does seem a bit dumb, untidy or geeky at first but allows you a lot of
finesse and control.
Regards from
Tom :)

Dear Jan
I had a similar problem where I needed an as-new clean re-install
I spent many hours on this including editing the registry (never a good idea).
I wish that I had posted this first, as Roxy's idea of using Revo-Uninstall
does the same (if not better) in a matter of minutes. There were other cleaners
suggested, but this is the one I chose to try.
However, just out of interest, the configuration files are held in >>docs
&settings/your user-name?/application data/LibraOffice << which is not deleted
with the standard windows un-install (bad dog!).
If you say (do as I do in Options), change the rulers in Write to inches and the
background colour to blue(chart12), you will find that 4 files are changed in
this directory. I have absolutely no idea what does what and will probably never
need to know.
All the best
John B

How can I reset all settings?
Hi all!
I have a question. How can I reset all settings and toolbars to
defaults in LibreOffice? I already tried to unistall and reinstall
LibreOffice and yes I restarted PC after unistalling but it didn't
work. I still have non-default settings. I use Windows 7 (64-bit).
Sincerely
REDACTED

And change all 'openoffice.org' to 'libreoffice.org' in those instructions.
