I lost my Clip Library!

Post by Metalitia »

I accidentally resized the column to the left-most margin (effectively sizing it "0"), and now I can't get it back.
I don't even know how to fix it in the registry.
Help!

This is what is usually recommended by Helios for fixing these sorts of problems:

Please try renaming the file config.xml, which you will find at the following location, and then try starting up TextPad. Exit from TextPad before renaming the file.

C:\Documents and Settings\User name\Application Data\Helios\TextPad\5.0

I just checked for that (it took awhile for me to come back to here and see the reply), and (probably since I have an older version) it doesn't find one.

Assuming you have TextPad 4:

1) Exit from TextPad
2) Run REGEDIT.EXE
3) Expand the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 4.
4) Select the key labelled "Docking" and delete it.

That key will be recreated the next time you run TextPad, but you will lose any custom changes you have made to any toolbars..

I hope this helps.

Thanks, it worked!

...Actually, all I had to delete was the sub-folder inside "Docking" that had the string "Clip Library", instead of the entire "Docking" folder.

Again, thanks!

:D :wink: :) :o :!: :idea:
