[MonoDevelop] Problems with MonoDevelop on Windows

[Scott Willeke]

Russ:

Look for a file named ".recently-used" in your My Documents folder. Rename it or delete it.  Let us know if that gets you going.


P.S. Found in MonoDevelop.Core.Gui.RecentFileStorage class.

The .sln file ended up being unreadable - I can't even access it in Windows Explorer to, for example, look at it's properties, and I can't delete it (I will have to get my Network admin to do that). I had a backup of the project that still works fine. But the problem is that Monodevelop still tries to access the corrupt .sln file for the welcome page and for the Recent Solutions feature. When it can't access the .sln file it throws an exception and then crashes and I have to kill it with the Task Manager. I even un-installed (and deleted the Applicaton Data/Monodevelop folder) and re-installed Monodevelop, hoping it would forget about the history but for some reason it did not.
