Is it really necessary to delete the whole User folder, or is it enough to delete the
registrymodifications.xcu file in that folder? AFAIK, the user will lose only the
"recent documents" entries for the item on the File menu, but other settings
may vanish, too. The keyboard, toolbar, and autotext/autocorrect settings should be
preserved.
If deleting rm.xcu fixes the users' problems, we really should be asking them
to attach a copy of the old one to a BZ issue, so somebody can see what's going
wrong.

It seems that deleting the rm.xcu file removes more than I first thought. For
example a custom color palette (I usually overwrite the standard.soc by a
custom one, with the same name) is reset to standard one. Rather odd.
Indeed, you keep the toolbars and keyboard customization but you lose the
macros: they are still in the basic folder but they are not referenced anymore
in the rm.xcu so you don't see them!
So in the end, I'm not sure that removing only the rm.xcu is a true good idea.
It may leave bits of old files that could cause troubles later.
Following my other topic about frequent crashes, I made some tests and noticed
that removing the rm.xcu prevents the crashes (where they used to occur, but
I've not checked if they would be back if I had continued with this new rm.xcu
file).
So rm.xcu may be the key point but it could be a problem with the way it is
linked to the content of the profile (a broken reference to a file for example).
In the past, there were several configuration files (history, main, ...). They
have been merged into a single rm.xcu file. Less easy now to identify what is
the part that is the culprit.
I fear that uploading just the rm.xcu file would not be enough, especially if
the problem is with a link with another part of the profile.
