    For info on trashing prefs, look at this site…

    https://www.lafcpug.org/trashing_fcp_prefs.html

    The following is a nifty little program that stores and trashes prefs for you. Just be careful backing up the first time. Make sure you’re backing up clean prefs.

    For the record, a search for “trash preferences” would’ve yielded this same answer much much faster for you. Sometimes it’s hard to verbalize what you need, though, making searches tough. Next time, if you’re in a hurry, try a few different searches. You may find your answer much faster.

    It is now hosted here, until the main site is up again:
