After upgrading from AD13 to AD14 my custom toolbar which I created in AD13 was missing.
To restore my custom toolbar in AD14, I copied the following three files from AD13 :
DXP.RAF
DXP.RCS
UserTools.TLT
AD13 Location:
"C:\Users\Your User Name \AppData\Roaming\Altium\AD {xxx . . .}"
AD14 Location:
"C:\Users\Your User Name \AppData\Roaming\Altium\Altium Designer {xxx . . .}"
Tip: Altium must be closed while you copy the files, because the files are over written when a session of Altium is closed.
Just to be safe create copies of the AD14 files before overwriting them.

"PLACE' menu select 'POLYGON POUR CUTOUT' then draw a shape that surrounds the dead copper and right click to end shape. The copper will be gone inside the shape you just created. Fast and easy."

Unlike Polygon pours, planes in Altium do not have a remove dead copper feature.
You can place line or fills on the planes to remove copper.
However this is an error prone method for removing dead copper because it relies on you reviewing and finding the dead copper with your eyeballs.
