Hello,
First of all well done and congratulations on your product!
My question:
Whenever I is rebooting the SyMenu icon goes back to the middle of the screen.
She did not want to stay where I put it, that is the bottom left?
Once moved icon, if I leave SyMenu and restarts, the icon turns to the right place as I do not reboot ...
I have version: 4.08.5578 ...
In advance, thanks for the solution that you could give me.
cordially
PS: sorry for my bad English!

Hi momie0.
It's true. If you shutdown or restart your system, SyMenu loses its last not saved configuration, including the last position.
But there is an oddity in you report so I would like to understand better it.
Try to do these actions:
- Position your SyMenu icon on the left hand side of the screen and close SyMenu.
- Re-run the program and you'll certainly find it on the left hand side exactly where you put it.
- Now move SyMenu on the right hand side of the screen and restart your system (leave SyMenu opened).
- When your system returns, run SyMenu. You should find the icon on the left hand side of the screen and not on the center of the screen as you describe, because the last valid position saved in the configuration is the left hand one.
If the program behaves in this way the bug is clear but I don't know if I'll ever fix it because the workaround is easy: close SyMenu when its location is good and then it won't move from there even in case of shutdown or restart.
Otherwise let me have your full system configuration, SyMenu configuration, .NET framework installed and so on because it could be a more complex bug.

Hello,
Thank you for the quick responses.
So I did the tests but the icon is recovering in the middle of the screen by default.
Just for information, all changes are recorded in SyMenu well except the position of the icon!
The configuration of my system is a bone somewhat particular, it is a 64-bit Windows PE 5.0 based on a Windows 8.1 Pro.
The framework is installed 4.5.50709.17929 ...
I understand that there is no possible solutions.
Thanks in advance and sorry for all the trouble I give you!
Good day to you.

You mean that SyMenu works on an maintenance environment too????
This program never stops to amaze me 
Well with your confession naturally the bug report becomes less important than ever
I'm currently studying a way to make SyMenu works in a more interesting environment (Windows server core). With those server installation SyMenu suffers some problems with the Windows graphical components such as the open file dialog and save file dialog. But I trust to solve this little problems.
Maybe during my experiments I will solve your bug too.

One last question and then I will bother you more !!!!!
If SyMenu records the position of the icon in normal times, it puts it in what file?
Can we do the "force" manually? or not?
In advance, thank you.

It is quite difficult to do that.
The configuration file is [SyMenu]\Config\SyMenuConfig.zip
This zipped file contains an xml file SyMenuConfig.xml.
The xml content node for locations is "startMenuLocations".
Probably you will find several children nodes because SyMenu stores the location for every PC it runs on.
You should force the node with the attribute host equal to your PE machine name.
Whatch out. If you corrupt the configuration file SyMenu won't start anymore until you delete the xml file. But at this point you have already lost your configuration.

Hello,
I followed your advice to the changes in the XML.
This allowed me to better understand the operation of your software!
Well, you'll laugh ... Not only the xml file records all changes though,
BUT there is no "bug" your SyMenu works very well in a WinPE environment!
So where is the problem?
Well, it's stupid, WinPE regenerates Hostname each reboot even if it's the same machine ...
So it's normal that the icon is positioned in the middle!
So here is my question, you're not going to "love", sorry, because I suspect the answer!
Is there a way to put something other than the hostname and one that is well sure?
In advance, thank you for all the answers you have given me and for your patience.

The reply is naturally no. The machine name works for every OS except PE.
Rather try to search a way to keep a static machine name in WinPE, the problem is there.
