How do I undo or delete the auto MS Clip Organizer?

[terryp123]

I allowed the MS ClipArt Organizer (in MS PUB 2003) to manage all my images
on my system automatically (major slip of the right index finger) and
discovered I have way too many images available. Doesn't make it practical to
manage removing them manually. I would like to redo the process, eliminate
numerous images added to the MS ClipArt organizer but can't even figure out
where or what file the catalog is written to. Does anyone have any
suggestions re: this dilema? Many thanks in advance. I can also be reached at
(e-mail address removed). Thanks ... Terry

Re-name the MStore10.mgc to Mstore10.old. See if that does it. It is in a folder
(hidden) similar to this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Microsoft\Clip Organizer. Any
customization you have done in the Organizer will be lost, keywords will have to be
re-typed.

Mary -

Thank you so much for replying to my post. I was able to find the
MStore10.mgc file (it had ballooned to over 43 mb's!!!), renamed it as
suggested, and whalla! It regenerated the default file (down to 197k ) I
was tearing my hair out, trying to find the "catalog file", doing tons of
different kinds of file searches. Your knowledge & expertise are greatly
appreciated. Thanks again ...
