hmm..
so this is new behavior with this version? i really didn't change anything but it sounds like its not finding or saving its settings. try this, change the settings as you want them (start with windows and start minimized), and then fully exit the program (i.e. choose exit from the tray menu). then restart. see if your settings are saved, if so, restart windows and see if it works now. if settings arent saved, it could be directory persmissions.
