You could also alter the settings of startup.wor in your MapInfo directory.
When MapInfo loads it goes through the process of looking for things to load
in a certain order. If your directory contains a startup.wor file then
MapInfo uses this to alter settings when loading. I have put commands in
mine that set all of my buttonpads to be fixed, you can also alter where
they are fixed, with 0,0 being the top most bar and the first position on
it. This is the code that is in my startup.wor:
!workspace
!version 200
Run Application "C:\PROGRAM FILES\MAPINFO\PROFESSIONAL\Vm2\VM25.mbx"
Run Application "C:\Software\MapBasic\Table ButtonPad\tab_buttonpad.mbx"
Run Application "C:\Software\MapBasic\DejaView\DejaView.mbx"
Alter ButtonPad "Main" ToolBarPosition(1,0) Fixed
Alter ButtonPad "Drawing" ToolBarPosition(1,1) Fixed
Alter ButtonPad "Tools" ToolBarPosition(0,1) Fixed
Alter ButtonPad "VM2.5" ToolBarPosition(0,2) Fixed
Alter ButtonPad "Table Controls" ToolBarPosition(0,3) Fixed
Alter ButtonPad "DejaView" ToolBarPosition(0,4) Fixed
Hope this helps you out.
Regards
Colin Henderson

I'll take advantage of the slow traffic too.
I've recently changed machines, and so had to repersonalise the appearance
of all of my programmes, but MapInfo(v6) has been especially pesky. i like
my tool bars along the top of my screen, but no matter how often i set this
as default in the toolbars dialog box, it still insists on opening them
floating. infact, if i go options>toolbars..> save as default and Okay, -
and then reopen this dialog box the 'save as default' is not checked again.
what am i doing wrong?
any ideas? is there some other secret location for the setting of defaults
such as this?
