Hello,

My hard drive was removed by my PC technician and is no longer available. The following is a copy of your Help files.
Resetting Sierra Chart to a Default State
[Link] - [Top]

There is no need to uninstall and reinstall Sierra Chart to reset to a default state. To reset Sierra Chart to a default state for whatever reason, perform the steps below.

Resetting Sierra Chart to a default state does not cause any of the Chartbooks, chart data files (DLY and SCID file extensions), Spreadsheets, Trade Activity data to be lost. Those will remain.

The default installation folder path for Sierra Chart is C:\SierraChart\. The installation folder path can be determined through Window >> Message Log. Look at the Program path: line at the top of the Message Log. Make a note of this folder path.
Exit Sierra Chart if it is running with File >> Exit.
Go to the Sierra Chart installation folder on your computer that you made a note of in an earlier step.
Rename some or all of the following files and folders by adding .backup to them. Only rename the files that you wish to have reset back to default.
Sierra4.config (Contains all of the global settings in Sierra Chart. This includes settings set through all of the configuration windows under the Global Settings menu. Chart specific settings, like the settings in Chart >> Chart Settings, are held in Chartbooks and not this file. Sierra4.config does not include Account related settings or Global Symbol Settings and can be safely shared with others.)

Thanks or your help,

Pat Hair
