Jacki: It's possible that you've unchecked "Save Preferences When Quitting FInale" in the Program Options. This would do the same things you describe, but rather than turn it on I would suggest that you instead get all the settings exactly the way you like them and then go to File > Save Special > Save Preferences. I personally prefer to keep my preferences in one known-good state instead of having Finale re-save them every time I exit the program, but YMMV if you like to change the preferences around a lot.
