The problem is the default value of 0 for the second parameter. If you forget to type 1 a significant amount of work in placing and adjusting various windows is flushed into the electronic aether never to return. Please change the default for the second parameter to 1 and not 0. This way you have to intentionally type a parameter to flush the .ini file. __________________ Forin Ironshield Paladin of Underfoot Aegis Wolves Master Smith, Master Fletcher Animals die, friends die and I shall die, but one thing never dies.... and that is the reputation we leave behind at our deaths.

It writes the loactions of windows when you zone or camp ... not sure which but if you crash out it will not save your new "default" settings. The next time you log in you will get your changed skin settings back and then you can reload your skin corectly. AB
