Hi Tom, I have set the location of the preferences file as you just described. That helps, thank you Now, something else that disapears: in the volume viewer, if I add a few new features then click "Save Default Dialog Settings", the new features are forgotten the next time I reopen Chimera ... Is there a way to fix that?

Hi Jean-Francois,
I'm puzzled about your disappearing Chimera toolbar. It seems Chimera is not finding its preferences file. The location of the preferences file is set using Chimera menu entry
Favorites / Preferences, category Preferences
The path of the preferences files may be relative to the directory where Chimera starts. If you start Chimera by clicking an icon in Windows XP the start-up directory is set for the icon. Right click on the Chimera icon and choose Properties and look at the "Start in" field. This should help you find your Chimera preferences file.
