That's not the way to do it. Under most circumstances you should not delete
your normal.dot because you lose all your customisations that are saved in
normal.dot. Renaming normal.dot to something like normal.bad or normal.old
is suffice which allows the user to use the Organiser to copy back any
customisations.
