[Bug] ZAM file isnt loaded from a different dir name of ztree [Zeta]

i think this is one of ztree's subtle bugs, can live with it... but i hope to know the reason

after using C:\ZTREE this way for 25 years+

case 1
prepare a set of ztrees ready in different directory names
C:\ZT1\ZTW.EXE
C:\ZTREE11111\ZTW.EXE

keep C:\ZT1\ZTW.INI
run C:\ZT1\ZTW.EXE
C:\ZT1\ZTW.EXE doesnt recognize F9-ZtreeMenu and doesnt load the last used ZAM file

delete C:\ZT1\ZTW.INI
run C:\ZT1\ZTW.EXE
C:\ZT1\ZTW.EXE doesnt recognize F9-ZtreeMenu and doesnt load the last used ZAM file

********************************
case 2
prepare a set of ztrees ready in different directory names
C:\ZT1\ZTW.EXE
C:\ZTREE\ZTW.EXE

keep C:\ZT1\ZTW.INI
run C:\ZT1\ZTW.EXE
C:\ZT1\ZTW.EXE recognizes F9-ZtreeMenu from C:\ZTREE and not C:\ZT1

delete C:\ZT1\ZTW.INI
run C:\ZT1\ZTW.EXE
C:\ZT1\ZTW.EXE recognizes F9-ZtreeMenu from C:\ZTREE and not C:\ZT1

why is it?
i didnt install ztree through an EXE-installer
does ztree use the registry to launch some of its parts?
does ztree use a windows' strange registry key name Muicache?
