I have some audio production devices with buggy drivers - sometimes if I just disconnect them and reboot or shutdown the computer can crash while shutting down - not much I can do about it, it's old-ish tech.

Still though, every time my computer crashes while TextPad is running, TextPad completely forgets all my settings. I'm tired of re-configuring. Does anyone else have this issue?

I'm on Windows 8.1. But this has been going on for me since Windows 7.

You could take a "snapshot" of the Textpad configuration file (files) and use it to overwrite the Textpad configuration files whenever you re-boot, or by running a batch/script as needed. Similarly, any settings stored in the registry could be restored by importing .REG files as needed.

I don't know the Textpad file/registry structure well enough to be able to tell you which files/registry entries might need to be saved and restored. Perhaps someone else reading this could help with that.
