OpenOffice: Recovery Window keeps popping up for a deleted file

Calc, the OpenOffice.org spreadsheet program can sometimes crash for me when doing cut and paste. On one occasion I deleted the file I was working on.

Since then the recovery window pops up every time the program gets started and fails because the item doesn’t exist.

The solution is to delete the OpenOffice.org recovery file. Its located at the following subdirectory of the user data directory.

AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice.org\3\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Roaming.xcu
