The file: C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\SketchUp\SketchUp 20nn\SketchUp\PrivatePreferences.json
Contains the fixed path to your Templates folder, under:
"File Locations": {
...
"Templates": "C:\\Users\\YOURNAME\\AppData\\Roaming\\SketchUp\\SketchUp 20nn\\SketchUp\\Templates\\",
...
}
Note you need to use the correct user-name and SketchUp version in lieu of 20nn.
If you edit that with the right name while SketchUp is closed does that improve things ??
Changing a user-name does not change the underlying original user-name, and if that's happened it could confuse SketchUp when it's setting these fixed paths...
If that's not fixed SketchUp might still try to reset this preferences file to what it thinks is the correct path !

Being 'unsigned' need not be a problem.

Edit your native Extension Manager settings - Loading Policy > Unrestricted

Restart SketchUp and version-compatible, but 'unsigned', extensions [i.e. usually older] will then load OK.
Only install extensions from trustworthy sources - like SketchUcation, the Extension-Warehouse and a few developers' sites which offer direct downloads...

@Requisher You could learn to do the Ruby coding and add a toolbar. Might be easier to just create a keyboard shortcut for it.

@panixia Thanks to everyone who is still interested in this topic.

@thomthom I use it every day. Sometimes the project idea is implemented quickly, sometimes it's a real headache not to overdo it with the topology

TIG

I didn't actually tell you to delete the whole directory !
Just the dat file.
But probably no harm done

You don't need to reinstall SketchUp.
Just Repair it.
Close SketchUp.
Right-click on the SketchUp installer's exe file's icon [in Downloads] > Run as administrator... choose Repair.
Do not 'run' SketchUp as administrator, it can cause permission issues.
Your normal user-account might have some 'admin-powers' but that's not the same thing...
Do not Run the installer by double-clicking it - that can cause unpredictable permissions issues.
As far as the:
C:/Users/greg_/AppData/Local/LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir/LibFredo6_all_defaults.dat
issue is concerned, I'd delete that dat file [or move it out of the way in case of a mess-up in the next step, so you can back-step to where you were].
Alternatively right-click on the dat file's icon and use Security > Permissions > Edit to give FULL control to everything that is listed...
When SketchUp restarts it should be remade with default settings and permissions...

@DIPINACHARI

You are doing it already !
Write a clear message outlining your issue[s] and someone will reply.
At weekends and holidays replies might not be instant.
In more difficult circumstances you can communicate by Private Message [Chat] - but you need a few posts before you are allowed to do that - or email with SketchUcation's support team...

The lack of a signature will not prevent the extension from running unless you set the loading policy to prevent it. Set the policy to Unrestricted or Approve ... and the extension will load.

Go to the menu Tools > Fredo6 Collection > LordOfTheToolbars.

Can you try Reset the Vignette Stripe Position, after you moved Sketchup to the other monitor.

Note that there is no event received by the API when you move Sketchup between monitors. So, you cannot expect that the dialogs would follow.
