Post subject: Visio Default Start-up Page Archived from groups: microsoft>public>visio>general (more info?)
When you first launch Visio, a new blank page comes up with a stencil segment
to the left. Somehow, it is bringing back a populated page with a preliminary
drawing I was working on. It comes up as Drawing1.vsd. I have closed down
Vision and searched for Drawing1.vsd on my harddrive and it does not exist.
Where and what is causing this to bring back this old drawing? How do I get
rid of it?

It could be that your shortcut to Visio has been corrupted by having a
target file added to it. Check the shortcut properties (right-click on
it, or similar with the Start -> programs menu) and check that the
target file is just plain Visio and not your drawing.
If in doubt recreate the shortcut.

This did not work. I have removed and reinstalled Visio twice now. I went to
the Programs Folder, found the Visio.exe file and created a shortcut from
there. The default drawing still comes up with the same populated drawing.

menu View -> Drawing Explorer
the window caption will tell you the path to the file.

Sorry, there is no window caption with any path indication to a file.

Create a screen dump showing the open document with the Drawing
explorer window.

I have also searched my hard drive (all files and folders) for Drawing1.vsd.
It does not exist. When Visio launches it is pulling this information from
somewhere to populate the default Drawing1.vsd.
I will try to do as you suggest and get a file dump. But I think there must
be a file other than a .vsd file that is holding this data, e.g. .dll file or
something.

menu File -> Properties
Does the General tab show any useful information?
