Ugh so I was trying to get CTRLr working and playing around with the VST directories. on a whim I added C:/ to the VST directories in Reason 10 preferences and now Reason 10 won't start at all.

Help!

Is there any way to access VST folder location settings in Reason's preferences outside of Reason?

Delete the preference file or open it with Texteditor and edit the command line in question.
Not at my machine so all I remember is
C:users\%username%\ and start searching from there.
Note. Obviously all preferences will be at default.
:?: The question is - Who cares :?:

Well I deleted the prefereces file but it still trying to scan the VST locations on startup.....then crashing.

I also checked the preferences file at the above location and no references to the VST folders can be found.

so the VST locations must be being stored elsewhere.

Did it myself before also helped another one out this way and it worked for him as well. Not sure what else is going wrong here. :?:
