Michael,
Sure, I don't see why not. Like you said, if you delete the whole thing it
recreates them.
You have to do a couple of things to access the FOXUSER.DBF like a table.
SET RESOURCE OFF
USE SYS(2005) EXCLUSIVE
* find and mark your records for delete
PACK
USE
SET RESOURCE ON
You may need to restart VFP to get some entries re-created, I'm not sure
about that.

But can I delete just certain records (as opposed to the whole thing)
without
doing harm? I believe so, if it just recreates them anyway. --Mike

You can delete your FOXUSER.DBF & FOXUSER.FPT file, VFP will recreate them.
You will lose your settings like Command Window size & position, etc.

Is there any way to know what the entries mean in the foxuser.dbf? Is there
any harm in deleting any of them? The ones in question for me are as
follows:
PREFW WINDSTPROC F 3784320010118
PREFW SCHEMAPOS F 2001320010118
PREFW SCHEMAOPTS F 765920010118
Sometimes my app won't start correctly, looking for a database in the launch
directory, and it's not necessary (because it isn't used prior to the error
point). The code dies on the SET RESOURCE TO line, and I've tracked it down
to this.
Thanks in advance,
--Mike
