===== For Rhino 8 (or later) for Windows and Mac =====

  - Open Rhino
  - Type the command **Reset**
  - From the Dialog choose reset options.

See details on the Reset command [[https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/toolbarsandmenus/windowlayout.htm#Reset|here]].

//Note:// This command was **new** to Rhino 8. 


===== For Rhino 6 and 7 for Windows =====
  * This is done in 4 steps: delete the customized options and window position xmls file.
  * Disable any plugins.
  * Close their menus.
  * Reset the toolbar to default.


1. Reset **Rhino Options**: Close Rhino.
 
In **File Explorer**, go to the **C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\6.0\settings** folder where <USER> is the user that is logged in. Hint: in File Explorer input bar type **%appdata%** and navigate to the **Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\6.0\settings** folder.

Move or delete these file {{ ::settings_folder.png?nolink&300|}} 
<code>
settings-Scheme__Default.xml 
window_positions-Scheme__Default.xml
</code>

Moving into an OLD or SAVE folder will allow you to restore these file later by moving the files back.
Rhino will recreate these with default settings when they are not found.
 
2. Open Rhino

3. {{ ::undefined:plugins.png?nolink&300|}} 
**Disable plugins** that do not ship with Rhino: Options -> Plugins -> Filter on Plugins that "do not ship with Rhino". Uncheck them. 






4. Close and reopen Rhino



5. {{ ::toolbars.png?nolink&300|}} Close any **Rhino toolbars** that are not the Rhino Defaut. Go to Options -> Toolbars.
 
Highlight a toolbar that was added by a plugin or that is custom. 


6. {{ ::toolbars_close.png?nolink&300|}} From File menu, pick **Close Toolbar**. Repeat only leaving default.


7. Reset the **Toolbars**: In Rhino, type **ToolBarReset**. 
 
8. Close and Reopen Rhino.
Rhino should now look clean like it was when it was first installed.
