How can I empty, or reset the Find or Replace list to nothing? I am using CCleaner, but TextPad temp files are not listed. Thanks in advance.

You can't do it from within TextPad, but you can clear the lists as follows:

Exit TextPad.
Open the following file in another text editor: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Helios\TextPad\6\ConfigState.xml

Locate the element:

Code: Select all

<TextPad>
    <Recent-Strings>
        <value name="Find" type="collection">

Delete all the <element>string</element> elements in the above location.

Do the same for:

Code: Select all

<TextPad>
    <Recent-Strings>
        <value name="Replace" type="collection">

Save the file and restart TextPad.

Thanks. However, this is somewhat accident prone. When does Textpad sets this to null or empty? Exiting and re-opening still retains the previous values.
