That makes sense. I'll give it a try. Thank you.

This didn't work. Turning off the 'remember and save setup' options result in both panes opening to the root of C: even though MC had previously been exited with C:\ in one pane and \Documents in the other. A startup while the 'remember' options were enabled opened to the saved locations but that failed once the 'remember' options were unticked.
We can drop this discussion because I intend to stick with what works which is to specify a tab session on the command line in conjunction with the "Set focus at startup to" option.
IMHO, focus is not being recorded in tab sessions, and the remembered and saved setup items are not maintained once those options are turned off.
Please understand that my intention is only to report what I find isn't working that way I think it should. I do not mean to be hyper-critical nor do I mean to disparage MC. I have not used it very much yet, but so far, I prefer it to three other files explorers that I have been using (Q-Dir, Nexusfile, and Windows File Explorer).

That is strange.. works for me. If You have at least one save in the registry it should keep them. turning of Save option should just prevent them from being overwritten

Perhaps my issue is the result of using the portable version. Ideally, a portable version should save all settings to the MultiCommander\Config directory, which I thought it was doing, but maybe not the 'save settings on exit' stuff.

Might be, Portable saves everything to a file.. so it recreates everything each time.. while the installed saves to registry and overwrite values.
