Configuration Does Not Save on Exit

[jadag]

Hi All,

I hope you can help me with this problem.

I am using Salamander 2.53 under Vista Home.

I first noticed this problem when I tried to change some items in my "Hot Paths" menu bar.

I make the changes, and shut down, but when I re-launch, the changes have not been changed.

"Options/'Configuration/General/Save configuration on exit" is ticked.

If I change any of the other settings under "General" they ARE saved.

I haven't had this problem before, so I suspect it's some configuration change which is preventing these Hot Path changes.

Hope you can help

Regards - Jadag

Hi jadag,

as a first step you should determine whether Salamander is unable to save the configuration or just does not do it on exit. Use the Options | Save Configuration menu item to do so.

Some things you might want to try:

• If you have a registry guard type program running deactivate it (or better: uninstall it).
• Check the information in the thread saving Salamander's configuration to the registry and follow Jan's advice
• Check the ACL's on Salamander's registry tree (reg:\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander <Version>)
• Check that you don't use the -C <reg_file> command line parameter
• Follow the following procedure
  1. Start Salamander
  2. export the configuration
  3. delete the registy key specified above
  4. check the configuration option 'Save configuration on exit' and turn it on if it is not
  5. save the configuration

Note, if you run your Salamander as a different user, start the registry editor from Salamander and/or use Salamander's registry plugin, or use the proper subkey below HKEY_USERS instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
