Control what loads in ClipWindow (f3)

Post by jriggin »

My default 6.1 installation automatically loads Clip Library, Document Selector and Windows Filesystem Explorer in a window on the left. I have searched for a way to prevent this window from opening at all by default, but I can't even find out what the window itself is called. I can click the "X" 3 times and make it go away, but there must be a better way. (Explorer takes over 30 se3conds to close while it scans all my network connections)

How do I keep this window from opening by default?

Thanks!

The state and position of these windows should be saved automatically, so if you've closed the Explorer window it shouldn't reopen when you next start TextPad.

To reset the configuration file, try exiting TextPad and renaming or deleting the following file: %APPDATA%\Helios\TextPad\6\GUIState.xml

If that still doesn't fix the problem, something else is preventing your settings from being saved.
