I am a big ol fan of the text mate clone for windows known simply as “e”

However, when I tried to start it up today, it would hang when opening the recently used documents. I love this feature where E simply opens all the document that were open when you last closed the app. Handy!

Bust since the progress bar is a modal dialog box when the program opend, you are in deep doo-doo if something happens that causes e to lock up when trying to open those documents upon starup.

Apparently this can happen if you happen to BSOD while e is open (even if e is not the culprit.

Here is how to fix it.

Go to c:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Application Data\e\

and delete e.db (if you are nervous about this, rename it to something like “e-CORRUPT.db”

Restart e.

E should start back up in it;s plain vanilla configuration.

Good luck!
