Been a Unix engineer for more than 25 years, so don't deal with Windows much! I'm not sure why Windows would overwrite a 3rd party config file but who knows!

Anyhow, I ran the command 'sabnzbd.exe -b1' and it started sabnzbd AND launched the browser. So how can I make this permanent?

Ok let me give that a try and get back to you.

Yes it does persist without reboots and no I'm not running SABnzbd as a Windows service. I'm confused as to why, if anything, would overwrite a config file!

The "official way" is how I was doing it before I edited the file manually and it wouldn't save the changes. I was using the webgui to check the "Launch Browser on Startup" box, hit the "save changes" button but wouldn't persist across reboots.

That didn't work, I shutdown sabnzbd, edited the ini file located in %userprofile%\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\ and rebooted. Browser didn't launch on restart and the auto_browser switch was reset to 0!

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Shypike, I'll try those suggestions and get back to you!

I recently upgraded SAB to 0.7.20 running on a Windows 7 notebook and ever since all my downloads are failing with "Download Failed - Out of your server's retention?" error message. Surely not all of them could be the result of DMCA takedowns!! I've done the following steps one at a time t...
