minor annoyance 'files to open on startup'

sometime during the course of this last summer my sierra chart program has started to disregard the 'files to open on startup' under global settings, general settings. there are 3 chartbooks (my most commonly used) that open but as i try to modify this list, nothing seems to change. and this is occurring on both my laptop and desktop. now i am manually opening other chartbooks each time i log on to SC and the inconvenience has risen to the point of this support request. perhaps there is a setting i've missed during the course of version updates or something else, i dont know. i am running recent versions on both pc's, but this problem started months back; i cant remember when exactly.

thanks in advance

We need to understand this better. So if you Add a file to the list, it does not get added? Can you be very precise as to exactly what is not working.

that is correct. when i add or subtract a file no change occurs when i close then reopen sc. for example at this writing i had 7 different chartbooks set to open. but no change and what opens is 3 previous chartbooks.

so i open 'files to open' dbox and remove all chartbooks leaving no files or chartbooks to open at startup.
hit apply
close sc; reopen sc and the same previously mentioned 3 chartbooks load
i chk the 'files to open' and the original 7 chartbooks (ones i just removed) are back as if no change was made.
i do have the 'always use data folder' box chkd.
