Can't get Primalscript Pro to remember settings?

I see how you save the interface settings but how do you get Primalscript to "remember" those settings on startup? I'm fed up having to autohide the side panels every time ;)

I am running XP SP2 and I have admin rights.Also, this is a fully licensed version so what do I need to do to be able to post in the Licensed Customers support forum?

The UI library saves its settings under HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareSAPIEN Technologies, Inc.PrimalScript Professional2007BCGWorkspace
If it doesn't "remember" auto-hide, does it also not remember toolbar placements or which output windows, find in files etc where open?

It doesn't remember that I want the Output window to be tabbed or that FInd in Files was open.Oh, sorry, I should stress that this happens first thing in the morning when the machine is started up (effectively after a reboot). During the day, if I close and restart Primalscript then the settings are remembered

I suspect then you have something running that resets registry settings on reboot. PrimalScript has no special code for restart handling.
Export the registry node to a file. Reboot.
If every is changed, exit PrimalScript.
Apply the reg file and restart it.
If that gets the settings back then you have to check what you are running.
