How do I load in the default "new" page with just the cube?

I used to be able to load in the default start page of Blender that just shows the cube. But now it shows me a wireframe of a ship’s hull that I have been working on…but not the latest one. I tell it to start a “new” file and it still pops this scene back up. When I look at the name on the top it is from the appdata/local/temp/quit.

And I am unable to delete my “empty” panels…which are now in wireframe and seem to be locked.

Strange…not sure what happened.

File / Load Factory settings, then Ctrl+U to save as your default. This will of course change back any other custom preference settings.

Whew…thanks.
