TC 7.56; windows 7; save tab positions;

[aabra1]

I switched to windows 7
TC does not save tab positions anymore

on XP when I closed and reopened TC it came up with the same tabs as before it was closed

anything I can do to save my tab positions?
I tried locking the tabs, did not help. TC always starts with 1 tab "C:/" in both left and right panel.
please, help

I Checked that.
Not a problem there.
All check-boxes are checked
see the screen shots...

note: there were 3 locked tabs in the left panel before TC close and they are all reset to 1 tab with c:\ after TC reopen.

Where is your wincmd.ini located ?
On Win7 there are write restrictions on "Program Files" directory ...

thanks sqa_wizard

your reply led me to start a little research.
so I diff my TC directories and compared them with some backup I have

I do have wincmd.ini split up and portions of it removed and put in a different ini file.
so that file was missing all together.
so happened that in that file there were
[righttabs] and [lefttabs] sections.
it did work though, surprisingly w-o complaining at all.

so I recovered that ini from the back up and it started working.

I have been using TC for many years and win7 for a few.

We I moved to a SSD harddisk, almost everything worked fine, but not TC does not save tab positions anymore.

I have only one wincmd.ini file on the pc. (and a wcx_ftp.ini file)

I have tried to restore an old version of wincmd.ini, but no luck
I have also tried to view the setting files from aabra1, but get an 403 error.

Which settings is defining that the tabs should be saved?

Any good ideas?

2Jesahl: First of all, verify the location of currently used setting files with "Help - About Total Commander".
Be sure that it is NOT at "Program Files" directory, which is usually causing problems on Win7.

Which settings is defining that the tabs should be saved?

At "Configuration - Options - Operation - Save on Exit" tick option "Directories"

At you WINCMD.INI file you will find saved entries at [righttabs] and [lefttabs] sections.
