But why did you want to delete the session which is remembering that you don't want the sidebar to be displayed? Now that you know that the session is recording that, you can change 'Ask user' to 'Save session' (it really means 'Re-save session') and it will remember it forever. 'Load last-used session' and 'Save session' will do what you want. Leslie > > [I note that this option says that it will delete ALL saved sessions, not > just the current one.
