Hi, Everyone,

From a few days ago, every time when I open MT4, I can see only the chart window, while all other windows disappeared. I have to click from View => toolbars and 4 submenus, terminal, market watch, Navigator, etc to see them. Could anyone let me know how I can save the settings so that I don't click them every time I open MT4?

Many thanks!

It should auto save every time you exit MT4
Exceptions are when the computer or metatrader crashes.
You can also save a class of charts complete with indicators etc. to a profile, then just click on that profile.
It could also be an error in your metatrader in which case you might have to download a new version, and transfer your custom indicators, templates, etc to the new one

Hope this helps

Also try F11 when all the windows disappear. Chances are you went to full screen mode, F11 brings you back to the normal view

As far as I know, the toolbar etc settings are saved in a file named terminal.ini in folder ...../<MT4>/config/

It's possible that this file has become damaged. You could try exiting MT4, renaming the file (to terminal.xxx, for example), and then restarting MT4. Then load your toolbars etc to the desired settings, and exit and restart again, and see if this fixes the problem.

If it doesn't, you can always rename terminal.xxx back to terminal.ini (after deleting any newly created terminal.ini file) and at least you're no worse off than you were before.
