I have a window I have put a lot of work into. I accidentally set the timer to a really fast pace. I can no longer open the window without the entire designer freezing. How can I open the window, disabling all timers/scripts/etc from running, so I can disable the timer?

Can you do a rollback of the project? Or is it too late for that?

Without opening the window, hold down the shift key and right-click on the window name and choose “Copy XML to Clipboard”.

Paste the xml into and editor and search for the timer by name. You might be able to find where the delay value is, change it to a slower rate and then copy the modified XML back into the window. (Shift + right-click, Set XML from clipboard.) Then open your window.
