I think the reason why you had no luck with reinstallation was that
OpenOffice stores customisations per user instead of per installation
- and such customisations are intentionally (and usefully) preserved
across a reinstallation or upgrade.
I'm guessing here, but a quick bit of experimentation suggests that -
in my version 3.1.1 for Windows XP - this information is stored in
the Accelerators.xcu file in C:\Documents and
Settings\<login-name>\Application
Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office. Note
that Application Data is a hidden folder. (You'll have to find the
corresponding place if you are using another operating system.) You
might like to try closing OpenOffice and the Quickstarter, renaming
this file (so that you can reinstate it if necessary) and then
reopening OpenOffice. I think it should revert to the default state
(in terms of whatever this file registers) and should create a new
copy of the file when necessary to contain any future customisations you make.
I trust this helps.
