[Solved] Load AOO at startup checkbox doesn't stay

[JamesEJ]

Hey Guys! Win7 x64 pc here. I realize (I think) how to make Oo open on a startup but one slight problem.

When I go to the usual > tools, options, memory I do get this: [ ] load open office during system startup. In the past, I check-marked that box and it worked based on my current recollections.

But now when I checkmark that box, the checkmark never stays in place. So Oo never opens on startup with the little Oo icon in the notification area.

Did not see a save function, so I am at a loss right now.

Any Ideas? All help appreciated! Jim

Hello out there.

But now when I checkmark that box, the checkmark never stays in place.

Try to reset the User profile of the AOO.

Did not see a save function, so I am at a loss right now.

Clicking the OK button should invoke the save function. Using the X button on the dialog will cancel the save function.

Alright, made sure I clicked "OK" and will reboot. Appreciate your straightforward reply! Jim

Funny thing. 1st reboot not work. 2nc check + OK worked. Now after subsequent reboots not work again. Any idea?

[JamesEJ]

Ohh, and just thot of this. Pretty sure it started just after I installed the recent 4.1.5 version after I got a nag screen. Hope this helps the analysis. J

Delete the OO user profile.

How to delete the user profile Please? Jim

[RoryOF]

Shutdown OpenOffice and then open any folder. In the address bar near the top enter
%appdata%\openoffice\4\
That should take you to a folder containing a folder called user. Rename that to user_old and restart OpenOffice. You should get the registration screen

Did what you said. went smoothly but the checkbox when checked and OK clicked still gets becomes unchecked on reboot.

Seems "Maybe" it's solved. Played with Glary Utilities startup MGR, and quickstarter showed up in the notifications bar again. YAY! YAY! Disappeared couple times but came back as of now. Will see and mark solved if it did. New post if it did not. Thanks very much guys. Jim

Its solved. The il Oo icon now appears in the notify section. Gonna try to mark this SOLVED.
