As I have no idea how to help you with the window size problem now, let try to fix the other.

Dear Martin, the options in preferences are saved.
Norton interface is selected.
The preferences on login are saved as well, although in both casses the menu
is always expanded when opening. ( - instead of +)
thanx

I have other problems with scp, but as you can see even the window size takes several posts

1024x768
the width always stays the same when minimized, the length of the window has to be adjusted. It is always below the visible window when opening scp.

Are you sure you are using the Norton-Commander interface of WinSCP? You configuration contains only the default options (I mean not only the window size), which should happen only if you never used the interface. Or there are some problems saving your configuration. Are other options being saved (like options on preferences dialog)?

thanx for all the help.

hope this is what you are looking for, maybe not the format.

Hmm, hard to tell. What is your screen resolution? Do you have the WinSCP window maximized when exiting? If not, is it whole "on the screen", or is some edge of the window outside the screen?

If you know how to work with Windows registry, then please after exiting the program, export key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2\Configuration\Interface\Commander] or [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2\Configuration\Interface\Explorer] (it depends on what interface you use) and post the exported settings.

Thanx for your help

Window size should be remembered always. Did the problem appear with 3.6.1 or did you have it even with older versions?
