I may be a complete idiot with this question but would there be any way to export the current toolbar settings (like you can export shortcuts) then do the registry cleaning and the reimport the toolbar settings?

well, not really, because it's the toolbars settings in the registry that gets completely messed up. Seems to be lots of junk references and its impossible to tell them apart.
Only remedy I've found is to purge the whole lot. -

Just guessing, but if you open SketchUp with the menus in their proper positions, then purge via "regedit" all the registry "ToolbarsUserCustom-BarXX", then from SketchUp "Save Toolbar Positions". Everything will be back to normal. Now only problem is, who will go first?-)
Maybe Admin can create a "No guts, No glory" award that can be part of their signature.

hm... that might just restore the mess...

Well, I am guessing that the mess is made by changing the menu positions from time to time. Hmm.....Still requires someone

You need to tell which ToolBar Registry entries are foobar...
Saving them all and reimporting will not change anything.
Comparing the two types might work as it seems that the non-duplicated entires by their ...-BarN values are not needed BUT I don't want to risk it!!
The entries are not obvious in their functions or redundancy - if someone from Google were to give us a hint it'd help
-
No not reimporting, but while SU is open, purge the registry by hand, then from SU, "save toolbar positions". If the admins offer me a "no guts, no glory", "official sketchulocation award" for my signature, I will try it.

My startup time went from 43secs to 16secs after cleaning the registry.
A big thumbs up for Mr TIG and his mental mental chicken oriental.

How about a 'grow a pair' award?

Rich, I can see that you have never faced many self inflicted catastrophic disasters on your system. These tend to shrink the contents of ones sack over time, unless one is a pinhead incapable of responding to negative reinforcement. Hmm...which one am I today.:)

How about a 'Major Cajones' award? As for self inflicted disasters, I wake up next to one everyday
Go for it HD, it's only your livelihood at stake.

No, I'm retired, but having just faced a hard drive melt down, I need incentive (any kind of award) to mess with my registry.
