1. Check if you don't install PSPad as portable into program files folder. Look into Program settings / System integration if multiuser environment is checked. If not and PSPad is in Program files, it has no rights to write into it's ini file. To fix it run PSpad as administrator and check this option. PSPad remember state of near everything - if you hite left panel, it will stay hidden.
