 +By [[mary@mcneel.com|Mary Ann Fugier]]
 +
 +{{ ::reset.jpg?250|}}
 +===== 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.
