WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use Microsoft Windows Explorer to locate and then delete the following folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\ \Application Data\Microsoft\Mse

After you delete this folder, the folder and the files are re-created the next time that you access the Script Editor.

If you do not see the Application Data folder, your operating system is likely hiding hidden files and folders. Hiding hidden files and folders is the default setting in the operating system. To display hidden files and folders, follow these steps:
 * 1) In the Explorer window, click Folder Options on the Tools menu.
 * 2) In the Folder Options dialog box, click the View tab.
 * 3) On the View tab in the Advanced Settings list, locate Hidden files and folders.
 * 4) Under the Hidden files and folders section, click to select the Show hidden files and folders check box, and then click OK.

Note If this workaround does not resolve your issue, your issue may have a different cause and may require additional steps to resolve.
