I guess I'm just brainless or something...LOLOL..because I still don't get what this has to do with the "preferred state" not saving correctly...all my shortcuts to Poser have the correct path.....but that doesn't make it save the preferred state correctly...I still have to use UI Dots to get the workspace in place....Butch, I don't see how you fixng your shortcuts got it to save the preferred state correctly... "C:Program FilesMetaCreationsPoser 4Poser.exe" Oh well, I give up...LOL
