Recover from a missing Photoshop scratch disk

Against Photoshop's advice, I've set an external hard drive as my primary Photoshop scratch disk. But when I recently left my external drive at home, Photoshop refused to start -- it displayed an error message that read "Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available," without an option to change scratch disk. Clicking OK closed Photoshop.

Thankfully, as it is with many things Mac, keyboard shortcuts work wonders. Holding down Command and Option while opening Photoshop allowed me to change the scratch disk's storage location.
