Layout settings not saved

[Arbubu]

When I close MetaTrader and reopen it the layout settings have all been reset to default ones. So the toolbars, for instance, all appear on separate lines. I don't like that, it takes up a lot of space, so I have to drag them all back to the same line each time I open the application. Somebody has had this problem before https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/55506 but I found that following the fix given in that article did not work. All that happened was that my chart windows appeared tiled. Anyone have any better ideas?

Try creating Default profiles and templates. Usually helps to name them default.xxx.

Sounds like a F11 issue I had . . . press F11

1. Do not install in \program files* on Vista/Win7
2. to fix the tool bars, close the terminal, delete <terminal>\config\terminal.ini, and restart. You'll loose the placement of open charts but after that it will remember properly.
