How to get a fresh start

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

There is a long frustrating story about how pissed I am at this program and how much money I've wasted in the store on it, but I will spare you.

However in doing so what I am asking help on wont make sense, and unfortunately its either that or I spend an hour ranting filling you in on the backstory.

Basically, I need Daz to be installed in the default locations. However when I uninstall Daz and re-install it, the installer defaults to the file paths I had initially put in, which are accross multiple hard drives and not the "factory" default filepaths.

Does anyone know how to get the default file path back? Or can just tell me what they are so I can type them in?

Thanks.

    The default path for Install manager is /My Daz 3D Library in the Public Documents folder. Daz Studio also uses /Daz 3D/Studio/My Library in the user's own folder. Both should be listed in DS as both Poser Format and Daz Studio Content Directories. In addition, DS 4.9+ uses /Daz 3D/Studio/My Daz Connect Library in the Documents folder as the destination for Connect (instalaltions made inside DS).

    All the default paths are stored in the registry and there is no way to get them back once you change them, that is, daz studio will remember only the last one you used. I also agree that not having an option for a complete cleanup and reinstall is a pita.

    I did it a couple of times by hand though and it worked fine. That is, I uninstalled daz studio and the cms, then I deleted by hand all the daz files and registry keys and this way I got a fresh install. But this involves fiddling with the registry so it's not something an average user will be able to do.

    BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM FIRST!!!!! OK I am covered. If you are a avid PC person with some technical skills you can u install everything (back up anything you created), delete or rename any Daz folder left (I append .old to all folder names) and run CCleaner. Restart the PC then reinstall. This should clean up everything, more or less.
