A better solution:
do not create a an OpenOffice user profile. PERIOD.!!!!
It is totally useless for the correct operation of OO.
And where are user settings stored when there is no user profile?

I concur this is an example of a user that, while he managed to solve
it in the end, is quite problematic, noisy, and won't follow any
advice longer than one line (even though he succeeded when he finally
tried). And our solution is easy but not super-easy.
I see three ways (two requiring OpenOffice development) to solve this:
1. An OpenOfficeProfileFixer.exe (so to say; I'm note referring to
something that exists) file that simply renames the user profile
under Windows. This will cover the large majority of the clueless
users. This can exist as a separate tool, hosted by an OpenOffice
committer is his personal space at apache.org.
2. An option to "start clean" at install time, that renames a
possibly existing OpenOffice profile.
3. A Tools - Reset default settings menu item that renames the
profile at the next restart of OpenOffice.
There is nothing to fix in the OpenOffice code. Profile corruption
happens due to many factors, but it is not linked to OpenOffice in a
clear way: it involves user profiles that are carried over from
OpenOffice 2.x or 3.x and may already be damaged but working.
So in the end one of the three options above is the best mitigation.

Andrea.
