Jonathan, Thanks for responding, but perhaps I did not make myself clear. Here is an example of what is happening: I double click on my disk icon Work: This causes the window for that disk to open. I can position and resize that window, display by name or icon, etc. With that window selected, I can select snapshot- window or snapshot- all, and the new position and configuration is saved to disk. Now I double-click on the drawer named Autopilot. This opens another window. I move this window where I want it, and display by name or icon. With this window (Autopilot) selected, I select snapshot- window. No response, nothing is written to disk. Snapshot- all has no effect either. Snapshot will not work on any drawer within the Work: partition, only the window that opens when I double click on Work:. No other icons are selected, no other windows are active. Snapshot used to work just fine until a few days ago. I have reformatted my entire hard drive and reinstalled the system software from the original disks. Right after the installation, snapshot works like it should. I can add new drawers and set them up as I choose, then snapshot to save the info. As soon as I install ANY software – from the original, unmodified disks- snapshot no longer works on ANY drawer within the Work: partition. Snapshot is working just fine in my Sys: partition. I can open the Sys: disk and open the Devs drawer and reposition it, display by name or icon, and snapshot it and it works just fine. Then I go to any drawer within the Work: partition and try the same thing- no effect. I know nothing is happening, because my drive light does not even flicker. This is very annoying, because all my windows open on top of each other and I have to reposition them every time I use the computer. If anyone can help, please tell me what I can do. Right now I am about to use NEWZap to try to manually change the location of the window when it opens. Thanks for any and all info. Warren Puziewicz
