problems after s::startup

[zeke79]

Ok guys I wrote a startup routine to open the properties dialog box everytime autocad is started. Now i want to get rid of it and cannot. I delete the acad.lsp file that the startup routine was located in but it still loads everytime autcad starts. I have tried appending the startup to no avail. I am running a network version of autocad 2002 on a windows 2000 professional operating system. My startup routines are as listed below:

This loads the properties dialog.

(defun s::startup ()
(command "properties&quot
)

This file attemps to append it and close the properties dialog.

(defun-q mystartup (/)
(if (> (getvar "opmstate&quot 0)
(command ".propertiesclose&quot)
)
(setq s::startup (append s::startup mystartup))

If there are any system variable or anything i can reset to make this go away it would be wonderful. I appreciate any help.

Are you sure you nailed the proper acad.lsp file? Newer versions of Acad keep them in a sub folder of Documents and Settings ...

Thanks for the quick reply! I have searched my whole computer and deleted all acad.lsp's. I cannot seem to find out what is doing this.

I was gonna say what IRF did. Are you on a server? You could be loading acad.lsp from there even though you've deleted it from your hard drive.

yes we are on a server and I had attempted searching it, but it was shut down yesterday due to a virus and it would still load the properties dialog so it is not loading from our server.

Did you look in acaddoc.lsp and acad2002doc.lsp?

I have replaced the whole support directory with a copy of all files from another machine and this has not solved the problem either.

You may have THOUGHT you searched the whole hard drive, but unless "hidden" folders are "visible", Windows will hide them from you. This includes the folder where Acad puts the local user files. Goto the control panel, hit folder settings, in the view tab find hidden files and folders and make sure they are visible. Then search for *.lsp again.

I will double check but I am 99% sure I have the show hidden files and show system files checked so they should be appearing. I may have to just work with the IT guys and get a fresh install. I just dont want to have to wait a week to get a fresh install if I can help it.

 

[zeke79]

yes, it was set to show hidden files and folders. Any other suggestions? I have tried text searching in all support files for s::startup and had no luck there either.
