MMC Saves Window Settings

[Jeff]

I was in dsa.msc when I thought it would be cool to right-
click on an OU and click "New Window From Here". Bad
mistake. This new window is now a permanent child window
in the dsa.msc console. Everytime I run dsa.msc this new
window shows up in front of my main ADUC directory window.
It's always in the way, the MMC no longer saves any new
window positions. This is really annoying.

I've searched the registry but can't find where the MMC
console saves custom settings. There has to be a place in
the registry where this information is stored. I want to
return my dsa.msc to it's original settings.

Generically I would search the drive to see if you have a modified
..msc file in %systemroot%\system32\ restore it from backup or
source.

I'd point you to the rather archane way of configuring "writability"
of msc files, but I do not have a reference handy. Try the file's
Properties, Author, Console, Options...
