InDesign Startup Script

Question

I made a simple startup script for InDesign using javascript with afterOpen that would show an alert when any Indesign document is opened just for testing. I have deleted the script from my scripts folder, but it still runs and alerts pop up for any InDesign file I open. Why? How? Should I uninstall and reinstall InDesign? Is it in a hidden file somewhere?

Answer 1

Because of startup scripts are persistent (in ID "database"). You need to make another script or answer to beforeClose -- Document (beforeQuit -- Application) events, where you need to remove all EventListeners and MenuActions.
