How do I clear my DeskScapes "Favorite's List?

Have old deleted/lost Favorites which appear as blanks

from Stardock Forums

This would seem to be a simple thing, but I don't seem able to find a way to remove all my DeskScape favorites.  I have many now, which due to configuration changes, now only appear as blank icons because the files which were attached are no long found by DeskScapes.  I have "many" of them.  Preferably I would like to remove them idividually.. but clearing and starting over would be ok also.  But I can't find any means in which to do this in DeskScapes.  I have DeskScape 11 Beta.

Thank you

Dan Carignan

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Have you tried right click on the item -> option -> Click on the selected " Make Favourate" to un-tick it.

Thanks

Thank you for getting back with me.  Yes, that does work.  But I have a "lot" of them.. and I was wishing for a more whole sale way to do this.  It will be quite time consuming to do it that way.. but if that's the only way... then I'll make a long term project of it. 

I do like Stardock Windows applications and have been a long time user.  Maybe in a future edition of DeskScape a more efficient way to manage favorites will be created.

Again, Regards and thank you.

"Select all" don't work for you?

Thank you again for your reply.

Yes, the "select all" works... but the "option" box is not allow to open up if more than one selection is made.  Select all does select everthing, but the option box is needed to un-select the icons as favorites.  If DeskScapes would allow the options to open and operate when more than one object is selected.. then it would all be very simple.

You could try deleting the favorites in the Registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Deskscapes\Deskscapes10\Fav

First Export the Fav folder to a safe place on your C: drive so that you have a back up in case this doesn't work.
