Settings not saved on Windows 11

[Gogolo]

I have a licence of XYPlorer.

I installed it on a new Windows 11 PC provided by my University. Only when I start it as an Administrator it remembers it's settings.

For starting as an Admin I have to enter Username and Password every time.

Is there any other way to get it to remember settings? (Changing Application Data Path?)

Thx, Olivier

Your installation folder does not contain a Startup.ini file?
Menu - Go - Go to application folder

Create that file, insert this as content:

Code: Select all

[Appdata]
Path=%appdata%\XYplorer

Restart XY

If required move over the data from your previously used XY data folder into the new one...

Thx! I created the file and code - but it does not help. For example: I set dark mode, save settings, exit. Restart and its not in dark mode.

Execute this script, show the result:

Code: Select all

$a = "XY path: <xypath><crlf>";
  $a .= "XY data: <xydata><crlf>";
  $a .= "XY startup:" . <crlf> . readfile("<xypath>\Startup.ini") . <crlf>;

  text $a;

The dark mode part of the issue could be due to your Configuration setting: Tools > Configuration > Startup and Exit > Adjust to OS light/dark mode at startup. Make sure that is unchecked and XYplorer will act independently of the Windows settings.

Thx for all your help. Suddenly everything works and I don't know why. I restarted after setting startup.ini - maybe that did the trick. Happy that XYPlorer runs now on my new machine - I was really lost with Windows Explorer
