While Winamp is not running go to the Winamp folder and make sure Winamp.ini and Studio.xnf are not set to read only (right click on file > Properties > General tab). If you have multi-user setup for Winamp, the files will be located at C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Winamp

Note: The Application Data folder is hidden by default, so you may need to checkmark "show hidden files/folders" in: Control Panel > Folder Options > View tab

No luck or that is not it? Please provide system specs.

-AMD 2000XP, 1024mb ram
-Audigy 2
-ATI 9700
-WinXP sp2
-DX 9.0c

@ Gelo_USA

At first I could not reproduce this issue. However, after another attempt this has been reproduced on my default and clean install of Winamp. It seems to only occur when both the main/player and playlist editor are in docked toolbar mode. Reproduced with different docked settings (auto-hide, always on top, position). Also the playlist can be in "full" or WindowShade docked mode.

Winamp 5.2 Full (not "per user" account/profile installs)
Modern Default Skin
Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2
DirectX 9.0c
Dell Dimension 4550
Video NVIDIA GeForce MX 420 (nView disabled)
SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio (Analog Devices, Inc.)
Pentium 4 2.0GHz
256MB Ram

Apparently we are not the only ones experiencing the issue...

@ lonesoulost3

Are you saying this issue occurs with docked toolbar mode?

lonesoulost3 · 2nd March 2006, 18:54

Yeah. I use the Skin LayerOne v1.3 in both docked playlist (left) and toolbar (top). I also have my opacity for both set at 80% with 'opaque on hover' for the playlist. Both are set to "always on top" and "always hide"

EDIT!
I followed NyNE's first post "*yet another edit* at this thread: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?threadid=237974

Winamp remembers now...but very strange. Still something to look into I think. No conclusion was reached in the previous post because no one could replicate the problem.

ok thnks I guess I will have to use it in the defalt position until they come with a fix for that

@ Gelo_USA

Check the link to the thread in my previous post - it may do the fix even though it's a round about way.

I believe what lonesoulost3 is referring to is this part of NyNe's post.

I am unable to reproduce the issue if only one of the windows are docked.

Gelo_USA · 3rd March 2006, 00:20

I just found a way to dock and auto hide the main screen on top I just docked it and removed the auto hide option
i closed winamp re opened and put the auto hide on and closed and reopened and it works fine now but the playlist still wont stay using the same method I used for the main window and then another day I will try the link u gave me
