Corel, in their infinite wisdom, added a file that kills your settings.. took a few years, but it's no longer there.

find this file.. delete it.. find the registry entries for this file.. delete them, too

PdxRegCL.exe

no.. this is a standard issue, can't recall your result ever being reported.. I'd uninstall, reinstall, seek and destroy the file again.. we've been telling folks to do this for 15/20 years

yes, if you reinstall you have to get rid of the reg cleaner again

I don't remember how many versions it was there, but they started it with WPO Suite 12

Suite 2000 / Paradox 10 was a work in progress, when Borland deprecated the BDE.. personally, I have only used one trivial thing from P10 that wasn't in P9

every suite after that is P11, which is P10 with the service packs apllied

suite 2020, and the last few before that, don't have that damn file anymore

your "workaround" sounds like a regular install.. put a shortcut on the desktop, modify the startup string to suit your needs, use it and/or copy it to the taskbar.. yeah, you can't modify the one on the taskbar, that's why I don't put stuff on the task bar

yes.. you edit the shortcut on the desktop, then move it to the taskbar.. that's what I said, too

I keep it clean by keeping all of my shortcuts grouped into a few folders on the desktop
