Visio Default Start-up Page
When you first launch Visio, a new blank page comes up with a stencil segment
to the left. Somehow, it is bringing back a populated page with a preliminary drawing I was working on. It comes up as Drawing1.vsd. I have closed down Vision and searched for Drawing1.vsd on my harddrive and it does not exist. Where and what is causing this to bring back this old drawing? How do I get rid of it?

How do I get rid of it? It could be that your shortcut to Visio has been corrupted by having a target file added to it. Check the shortcut properties (right-click on it, or similar with the Start - programs menu) and check that the target file is just plain Visio and not your drawing. If in doubt recreate the shortcut. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. http://www.electronics-packages.sandrila.co.uk/

Visio Default Start-up Page
This did not work. I have removed and reinstalled Visio twice now. I went to
the Programs Folder, found the Visio.exe file and created a shortcut from there. The default drawing still comes up with the same populated drawing.

Visio Default Start-up Page
I have also searched my hard drive (all files and folders) for Drawing1.vsd.
It does not exist. When Visio launches it is pulling this information from somewhere to populate the default Drawing1.vsd. I will try to do as you suggest and get a file dump. But I think there must be a file other than a .vsd file that is holding this data, e.g. .dll file or something.

Does the General tab show any useful information? On Sun, 24 Aug 2008 05:58:03 -0700, ATITAGAIN wrote: I have also searched my hard drive (all files and folders) for Drawing1.vsd. It does not exist.

This blog article provided the fix for me: http://blogs.msdn.com/visio/archive/...io-launch.aspx (i've taken the liberty of posting the text in case the blog disappears. The MSDN blog that points to the above blog has gone ...) Extra drawings opening on Visio launch This situation has come up frequently enough in the newsgroups that the solution should be widely circulated: When Visio crashes, it will often restart and recover the document you were working on. This is generally quite helpful, but sometimes Visio doesn't know when to stop. Sometimes Visio will continue to recover that document and show it to you every time you launch Visio. This can be frustrating, but there is a solution. Close Visio. Then look in the folder "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Visio" using Windows Explorer. Some of the folders in the path are hidden, but you can usually paste the path found between the quotation marks directly into the address bar and press Enter. Now find the file autorecover.ini and delete it. The recovered documents should stop reappearing when Visio is launched. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. http://www.sandrila.co.uk/ http://www.pherber.com/
