I open Poser without a figure in the window. This way I don't have to delete anything. All I did was open Poser, delete the figure and then set the preferences to prefered state. Now when I open Poser all I have to do is load the figure I want to work on. I do wish that the figures loaded MINUS the IK being on though. Kind of a pain to load and then have to go and turn off IK each time.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
