specifically:
"If you have run reforged once since last time you were in editor, you need to delete a register key (open regedit, find: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\WorldEdit, and delete: "Tool Windows")."

You have to repeat the same step in terms of removing the registry that was causing a problem (Tool Window) with World Editor if you're going to use both pre-Reforged and Reforged WEs at the same system. You can also delete the entirety of "WorldEdit" key if you still encounter same issues with WE, even though you have already deleted the required item.

In my opinion, it's better to purge any WC3-related registries before switching between Reforged and pre-Reforged ones. I believe any preferences related to Reforged were stored in a TXT file located in "Documents\Warcraft III\" folder instead of actually being placed in Regedit (as used in pre-Reforged).
