      This is weird, now, parts of my toolbars just seem to vanish, in this example, ATViews, TOS, Fredoscale and Sandbox have all gone weird .... Needs a reboot/redock for them to reappear ....

        Hi,

        I had also a lot of these registry entries in Sketchup Sketchup 7 and 8. ThomThoms "Reset SketchUp Toolbars" worked fine for me but after use you have to rearrange the toolbars. Now all is clean.

          Oops, after re-arranging the tool bars the registry entries are present again in 7 and 8. In Sketchup 8 i have some additional entries.

            I think the extra entries are to do with remembering the toolbar settings ??

              Aye - the ToolbarsUserCustom entries are new to SU which it uses to restore toolbar settings.

                Still following....though lost.

                Is this turn of events a good or bad thing?

                    Did you do anything to your Plugins or Tools folders? I ran ThomThom's bat file on my computer at work but had no trouble when I put the toolbars back. All the icons were present and accounted for.

                      You should not loose any icons no.
                      Do you mean you get the toolbars, but with missing icons? Or missing toolbars?

                        Sorry for being unclear, I meant icons within the toolbars. Turned computer on this morning and it seems fine however!

                          When you browse to your plugin folder - do you see a "Compatibility Files" button?

                            Sorry, do you mean via Windows Explorer? (C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins) If so, no.

                                THIS FIXES THE ISSUE! ThomThom saves the day once again. Hopefully Trimble fixes this as a bug.

                                  This is a couple of batch commands I use to clear the toolbar registry. It has worked for me - but I put a word of caution anyway; use at own risk.

                                  Activate the one corresponding to your SketchUp version.

                                  I had to change the content of the batch-file to (Windows 7-64):

                                  "c;\Windows\System32\reg.exe" query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8" /f "ToolbarsUser" >> reg_keys.txt
                                  
                                  for /f %%k in (reg_keys.txt) do (
                                      "c;\Windows\System32\reg.exe" delete %%k /f
                                  )
                                  

                                  (I found 4539 entries, who has more 😎 ? )

                                    It's using relative path - I see you used a full path. Seems like there's something odd about your PATH environment variables...

                                      Mine last cleared out at over ~1800 toolbar entries - and it had been crawling !
                                      After a lot of debugging of scripts/toolbars/extensions etc it does grow alarmingly...

                                      You must have been waiting forever for it to startup !

                                      I have a cmd that removes all toolbar guff and extensions too.
                                      It reduces startup time by a factor of 4 or 5 after it's run and I reinstall the extensions/toolbars I need !!

                                          I think if you keep adding/subtracting/activating/deactivating extensions during tests legacy entries can build up.
                                          Seems to slow me down when developing tools using them - if it crashes on a faulty load I think a new one gets added... The extension's name is determined by the loader .rb and if you change the text in that, then the older one can be left behind ?
                                          Also if you physically move an extension or rename it .rb! then its extension data is left in the registry clogging things up...
                                          Just seems easier to clean them out now an again, like the toolbars.

                                            The neccessary change was the "/f" instead of the "| find" which causes an error for me.
