Sorry. I must admit I hadn't actually tried it myself. And yes, it annoys me, too that it's the rotate tool that is the default. But I'm pretty sure it was in Poser 7 as well and I managed to change it to the Translate tool there, so perhaps it's just something that isn't properly written into the .ini (then again.. apparently I have no Poser.ini at all.. at least I can't find it, but that has a thread of its own L)

That's one of those things that's been bugging me about Poser for years. I'd really prefer just a simple pointer that does nothing but selects. The only widget tool I ever use is rotate anyway, otherwise I use dials for everything else.

You were already answered where your Poser.ini is. In Vista and Windows 7 it would be in:
X:UsersUser NameAppDataRoamingPoserPoser.ini, where "X" is the name of the drive your OS is on. Probably that's C but of course it doesn't have to be.

In XP it would be in Documents and Settings, probably under
Documents and SettingsPoserPoser.ini.
