recovering standard toolbars after an MS windows update
 
|
Apparently there was a windows update yesterday and it wiped out the standard default toolbars on the editor and output widows. How do I recover them? I see that there are some options under the View dropdown but they seem to be about creating
a custom menu or toolbar. The standard one is fine, thank you. Thanks, Gene Maguin |

A Windows update should not have messed up the toolbar settings, although that is theoretically possible. But try going to View > Toolbars > Customize. Then select each Window in the dialog dropdown menu that appears and make sure that each toolbar is checked. On Tue, Nov 19, 2019 at 6:58 AM Maguin, Eugene <[hidden email]> wrote:

Ok.
View > Toolbars > Customize Under the window drop down I can select Syntax, Data, Output, All If I select any individual window, say Syntax, then Toolbars: Show Name cells are blank (nothing can be selected). The New button is highlighted.
Click on New brings up Toolbar Properties window asking for Toolbar Name. Below Display on the following windows data editor, viewer, syntax are all checked. Returning to Show Toolbars, if I select All, I see 5 checkmarked cells under Show and under Name five blank selectable cells that change from grey to yellow highlight when clicked on.
I looked at windows update and it was last updated on 11/13 so I was wrong about that. I updated Java and Notepad++ yesterday without restarting. But something
caused a restart when I logged on this morning. I think that something did this. From: Jon Peck [mailto:[hidden email]]

Jon,
I’m finding that changes made in edità
options are not retained from start to start. I’m see that the initial startup page displays at each restart even though I checked ‘do not display again’ or its equivalent. I think the tool bars are gone-gone based on your reply yesterday. My question is whether
a Java update and deletion of prior versions and ‘old java related files’ by the java install program would cause these behaviors. I’m focusing on java because I assume a notepad++ update would not cause these problems. If you identify java as the issue,
I guess a related question is whether 25.0.2 will work with the current java version. Can you comment on that? Either way I think a reinstall is required.

These preference settings are saved in the Windows Registry, but it appears that this has stopped working. The toolbar settings in particular are saved in the key (for V26) HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2309509064-3190323472-2955834240-1003\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\com\ibm\/S/P/S/S\/Statistics\26.0\ui\toolbars or something like HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2309509064-3190323472-2955834240-1003\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\com\ibm\/S/P/S/S\/Statistics\26.0 13632\ui\toolbars where the latter key holds the setting during a session at the end of which they are written to the first one. (The last part of
26.0 13632 will change with every session.) Other preference setting are similar. So it appears that you can no longer read the Registry keys or update them. That might be a permissions issue, although this section of the Registry is supposed to be writable. You might need to reinstall or get your IT folks to look at your account settings. If you can, you might try starting Statistics as Administrator to see if that fixes it. On Wed, Nov 20, 2019 at 6:38 AM Maguin, Eugene <[hidden email]> wrote:

Thank you. I’ll show our IT people your message but I expect that a re-install and re-patch will be done.
Interestingly, the font differences commented text and command text, which I intensely disliked, have now disappeared.
