I could not attach the ZIP file containing the entire ZTreeWin directory that replicates the problem (size limitation). However, I was able to attach the ZTW.INI file that when it is not present in the directory ZTreeWin v2.4.166 is run from (which I believe causes ZTreeWin to revert to default settings), then the problem replicates every time. Please let me know if there is any problem replicating this -- I'll be happy to work with whoever would like help to trace it down.

Thanks in advance,
Vic
