Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How can I reset all settings?

Dear Tastaafl

Well said, it also made me laugh

Maybe there should be 2 levels of un-install called "un-install all" or 
"un-install all all"

However, just out of interest by renaming the file extension of the  file:-

registrymodifications.xcu to say >>  *.xcc     (this file is in Dos & 
settings/user?/Application Data/3/user)

When I opened LO,  registrymodifications.xcu was re-created and reset LO 
to default settings.

I then deleted this new file and renamed the old *.xcc back to *.xcu and 
my old settings were thankfully returned.

I think this also neatly resolves this issue of "how do I reset all 
settings" and without having to de & re-install LO


Thanks

John B
