I am running XP SP2.

I am looking for a way to restore launchy 2.1 back to its default state.

In an effort to streamline the program, I accidentally removed the option to search in the quick launch bar. For some silly reason, I can navigate to the actual folder by typing in the address, but not using the browse feature in launchy.

Consequently, I can no longer run .exe files regardless of location.

I attempted to completely purge my computer of launchy and reinstall. I searched the registry (via regedit) and removed all instances. I also removed all the prefetch files and then uninstalled the program via add/remove programs.

Upon reinstallation, my old preferences are saved, ie I still cannot open applications.

Is there a way to completely remove every single trace of this program from my computer so I can reinstall?

Or, is there a way to just return all the settings back to the way it is when you first download it?

Thanks for your time and consideration.

    Delete %appdata%\launchy\launchy.ini (you can type that path into windows explorer).
