Clear "Resent open files"

Is there a way, from "out-side", to clear the Resent open file list in S3D ??

I have, by failure, tryed to open a non .stl file. This causes a Windows crash when I start S3D.

Thanks in advance

You might try deleting or renaming the file S3D is trying to open, it may be able to handle a "file not found" situation OK.

No, does not Work.
I have tryed to uninstall S3D and then reinstall, but it still remember recent open files.
S3D crash after a few seconds. Screen looks ok, left corner writes "succesfully xxxxxx triangles" and right corner the green Progress bar goes to the right, but after a few seconds Windows crash and the computer restarts.
The problems occurs when I updated OpenOffice. The update file is named xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.stl and when I clicked this file to update OpenOffice, S3D starts up because of the the name of the file (.STL) Since that S3D / Windows crash every time I try to run it

Any ideas on what to do ?

How to do that ?
S3D crash before I can communicate with the program !!!


How do I make a complete new and fresh install ??

I have tryed to uninstall S3D "completely", but the new install has the same setup as the old one, so the uninstall does not remove all files !!

Hi JoeJ

Your trick works :-)
After I have tryed 3 times, I have to do it very fast before the program crashed, the program started up like after a new install. I typed in my username and password and everything looks fine

Actually my screen looks different, now it shows the build platform of a Replicator 2 (my printer) It did not do that before, and I'm pretty sure that the software was fully updated !!

Thanks for your input.
