Please wait for Tony or someone to bless this before attempting!
I Deleted ALL the favorite visuals from both the tools:favorite visuals selection and then using the config editor here (2nd from bottom) modified the visuals section to look like:
[VisualFavourites_AM]
count=0
[VisualFavourites_AUX]
count=0
[VisualFavourites_DSP]
count=0
[VisualFavourites_FM]
count=0
It was rather obviious where the duplicates were. and I'm not sure if it was the fact that I deleted it in BOTH areas or maybe just all the monkeying I did (not a programmer here) with the shell prompt that did the trick. Whew... still learning here
