How to reset XSI to its defaut settings?

[Rabid pitbull]

Good question. I think I screwed something up too, and would like to reset things. For some reason I am unable to open any scene files, even the default xsi samples.

All you should have to do is delete(or rename) the User folder, which is normally found at "C:\users\[USERNAME]\Softimage\XSI_4.0".

This is where any preferences, keymappings, custom layouts, toolbars, custom shaders, etc. etc. will be stored.

Note:

If you've made custom layouts, toolbars, etc... that you don't want to remake, you should copy those files (and any associated files, like bitmaps) to a separate directory first. Then copy and paste them into the new user directory structure that XSI will create.

I lost a few layouts that way. :sad:
