TC 8.0 does not remember the folders from my last session

TC 7.x always restored the last folders I was viewing. TC 8.0 does not, even though the settings look the same. Have the settings changed?

So what is your setting under Operation / Save on Exit / Directories ?

All options are checked. Good suggestion, though.

New wrinkle. If I run TC 8 as administrator, it saves my settings. Do I need to install it as administrator, or do I have to launch it that way every time?

You have to make sure that your setting files are placed in a folder where you have writing rights. You can see where your ini files are stored by clicking "Help" -> "About Total Commander".

You will normally not have writing rights if your ini files are placed in any subfolder to "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" (WIndows 7 x64)

That explains it. I'll use the utility to move my ini files. Thanks.
