Changing FM7.2 default parameters

John,
The greatest advantage I have found in this 'other' maker.ini is the
ability to have two maker.ini profiles. At work I run dual monitors off
a laptop. When I use the laptop by itself, I run a batch file that swaps
two maker.ini files (maker_laptop.ini and maker_desktop.ini). I have two
sets of coordinates for the structure view, which is the one entry I
really care about when switching from-to laptop/desktop. This way, if I
remember to run the batch file, I'm always able to access the structure
view.

That one appears to be where FM stores the "last-used" settings and
it changes everytime you either launch or save an FM session.
