A 4.4-3) The idea of writing prefs.cl each time is to “remember” where you last placed your windows (as well as other settings) so that they will be “where you left them” the next time you start up. If you do not want this behavior, as soon as you start up, toggle Tools | Save Options on Exit to off (unchecked). Then click Tools | Save Options Now. That will write a prefs.cl file with saving prefs.cl on exit disabled (meaning you do not have to toggle it off the next time you use the IDE).
