You'll need to UNINSTALL it, and then re-install. You may also have to delete 
the COOL.INI file in the WINDOWS folder, and from the folder that conatins 
the Cool Edit software. Unfortunately, you'll lose all of your presets by doing 
that.

A less destructive (but more tedious) option is to use a text editor to edit 
the COOL.INI and remove all of the [directory] entries, and the items that 
follow each one. Sometimes, it just scrambles its brains with too many directory 
entries. By carefully examining the COOL.INI, you will see that it has a 
pretty simple structure, with each section preceeded by a bracketed word, like 
[directories] , [System] , etc. (This is pretty standard WINDOWS protocol for most 
INI files.)

This works with Cool 2000 and up.
