Accidently altered the local file path folder, Trainz will show running but launch screen won't open? What can I do to fix this?

Computers especially Windows can be finicky sometimes. That happened to me already where I would try to start Trainz from the desktop and the launcher wouldn't appear or it took too long to appear. Sometimes it won't work if there is an instance of the same version already running in the background. Sometimes end task doesn't work properly, it refuses to quit sometimes.

I keep my Trainz data on drives located in an external enclosure. When I need to reinstall Windows, or switch to another machine, everything is there intact.

In addition to keeping the data externally, I also named my Trainz data folder TRS_PLUS_DATA and similarly to TRS_PLUS_BETA_DATA.

As noted in one of my posts above, My trainz data is housed in "E:/Trainz/trs22/build oadv6x201". Actually, E:Trainz contains all of my versions of trains plus all installers I have, all third party assets and Trainz apps I have downloaded. So, all my Trainz stuff is in one base folder. The drive is a 16TB 7200rpm NAS drive installed internally, but I back it up regularly to an external drive that is disconnected when not backing up, so it is air-gapped almost all of the time, but the working copy is live on a fast internal hard drive.
