Expression-Blend-3 - Has Anyone Lost a Window? How Can You Get It Back?

Question

Here's what I did:

• Right-clicked on an item in the 'Objects and Timeline' panel.
• Selected 'View XAML'
• Resized the window to a '0' size so that it went off the bottom of the screen.

Now, even if I:

• Select 'Reset Current Workspace'...
• Or restart Microsoft Expression Blend....
• I can't get the XAML view back.

Can anyone help me?

An answer from Unni, a PM on Blend:

I think this is a bug we have fixed for Blend 4.

For Blend 3, the only workaround I can think of is the following: go to the equivalent of this folder on you computer and delete user.config. WARNING: Do so will get rid of your settings and hence you might be annoyed by a few dialogs etc. that you had previously suppressed.

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Expression\Blend3

To be safe, I would copy the file elsewhere before renaming so you could replace it if that did not work out for whatever reason.

THanks,
