I always use a macro that closes all open documents then closes the project,
before shutting down Protel.
Assigned to a toolbutton or shortcut key it's a handy way to avoid this sort
of thing, also it makes starting Protel quicker (also I don't have to
remember to hold CNTRL when starting).
It's a pretty simple macro:
Sub Main
RunProcess "Client:CloseAllOpenDocumentsInView"
RunProcess "Client:CloseProject"
End Sub
You could even add:
RunProcess "Client:QuitFromEDAClient"
to make Protel shut down after closing the documents and project.
Note that this would only close one project before shutting down if you had
multiple projects open.
I leave it to the reader to think of a way to close all documents and
projects before shutting down, as I am rather busy at the moment.
Tom.

Boy, it seems like there's a lot of similar issues here.
For me, if I close a database with the .PPC open, upon re-opening the
database, the .ppc shows up all tiny/empty as well. I haven't thought
to try and and mess with zoom settings. My work around: little yellow
post-it note on my monitor, "Close .PPC files before exit Protel."
When I forget and it does show up wrong, closing and opening the .PPC
again fixes it.
