solved: cannot create new sketch

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

hi,

I have a curious problem:
I want to start a new sketch by clicking menue File/new.

But then I get an error message:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\ZusProgs\arduino-1.6.5-r5\examples\01.Basics\BareMinimum\BareMinimum.ino (The system cannot find the path specified)

Well, the path where the program is searching, does not exist. The path to the examples is different on my PC.
But why is the IDE searching for ...\BareMinimum.ino ? I just want to create a new sketch!
I created several sketches in the past without such an error message!

Arduino thought it would be a nice feature to load a bare minimum sketch for beginners. I find it annoying really. You can move the folders to where it's looking for it or try to reinstall the IDE.
