Try changing the "Start in" directory (on the shortcut dialog) to:

C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Roaming\ZTreeWin\

For my install, I have these files located in a similar directory:

ARCHIVER.BB2 , ZCOLORS.INI , ZNOLOG.INI
ZTW.INI , ZTW.KEY , ZTW.ZAM , ZLIST.ZL_ , *.ZTM

I don't know if all those files are required to be there -- however, I provide five (5) sub-directories for running up to five simultaneous instances of ZTW, so they can access and save their differing, related files.. Then I use each of them as a separate "Start in" directory:

C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Roaming\ZTreeWin\0001
C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Roaming\ZTreeWin\0002
C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Roaming\ZTreeWin\0003
C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Roaming\ZTreeWin\0004
C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Roaming\ZTreeWin\0005

BTW, you could also set a Windows Environmental Variable:

ZTTEMP=C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Roaming\ZTreeWin_Temp\

...to have your ZTW temp directory(ies) appear immediately below "the above".

( ...rather than under - C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Local\Temp\ )
