'Maclean: to make the part highlight go away perm, make the text edit you've attempted before. save the file. right click it in windows, and LOCK the file so it cannot be written to' Garee, I don't know if we're talking about the same thing here. I've modified my poser.ini to not show the vertice lines and it doesn't need to be locked. It just does it, same as P4. The problem I have is killing 'show figure circle' or 'show camera names' (in the Display menu). I've been through all the xmls, and sifted through the preferred.pz3 with a fine toothcomb, but I can't find any options for these settings. From what other people have told me, they just unclick them and save a preferred state. But poser doesn't save it to the .pz3, and I don't know where it does save it. That's why I can't lock the file. mac
