Is it not always the way? Five minutes after I posted my previous question in desperation I found the registry entry which holds the persistent data.
In case anyone else gets this problem, this is created the first time you exit the product with data in the panes, but is not being removed on an uninstall. The key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Edi Weitz\The Regex Coach
I uninstalled the product, removed the key (using regedit), reinstalled, and everything was fine. I could probably have just removed the 'Panes' sub-key without reinstalling the product.

Clive,
Thanks for the follow-up. Yes, removing the registry key would have sufficed. Should I ever find the time to make a new release, I'll make sure that a) the key gets uninstalled together with the application and that b) files which don't exist anymore don't crash the program.
Thanks again, Edi.
