7-Zip: Settings not saved

Submitted by Cantello on July 20, 2007 - 5:28pm

Hi there!

I have currently installed 7-Zip portable on my HD (soon to be on my new Cruzer Titanium) and whenever I run 7-zipPortable.exe, 7-Zip starts, but always with the standard settings. I change something, i.e. the language, close 7-Zip, restart it and it has reverted to the original settings. Same for the columns, window position, etc.

I have 7-Zip installed on my computer as well, could that interfere? Or maybe there are certain files that might be write-protected?

Any help appreciated!

Helge.

7-Zip: issues with non admin use

Submitted by cmmehl on April 23, 2007 - 5:11pm

I run 7-zip 4.42 from my USB stick. When started on a computer without admin rights, I get an errormsg that writing to the registry is not allowed. Doesn't really bother me as it works just fine afterwards - but could it be avoided somehow?

However what bothers me a bit are the non-persistent settings. In particular language - I'd like to use it in English all the time, but it keeps switching to the computer's default language after every new start.
