Is there a way to wipe the players Skin folder, the one inside My Documents, under the name of your game that they're playing?

I noticed that even with some of control_freak activated, it still seems to save the size, shape and positions of the skins. Which isn't too helpful when you're constantly updating and tweaking the user interfaces.

It also seems to just be an inconvenience and hassle for the player to navigate to that folder manually and delete them.

You can try this when a user first connects: winset(usr, null, "reset=true")

What's that do exactly? I couldn't find any information in the Skin Reference about a Reset command.

it's in there: http://www.byond.com/docs/ref/skinparams.html

Another option you have is resetting the skin:

.winset "reset=true"
winset(usr, null, "reset=true")
When resetting the skin, any saved settings (like window position and size) are still kept, as determined by saved-params for each control. Controls created at runtime, including windows made via winclone(), are destroyed. The reset option is provided so that you can reset a user's skin when they reconnect or when they are brought in via link() from another server. Normally the skin will not reset.

Ah, thank you very much.
