    Default Tools Menu hidden on startup

    EVERY TIME I open Illustrator the TOOLS menu/window does not show. I have to manually go to "window" and check Tools. All the other palettes and menus show as remembered from the previous session.

    How can I fix it so Adobe Illustrator remembers I want the TOOLS window to show at startup? duh

    I have the same issue with Ill. 10 on Panther. I haven’t found the problem yet but it is good to hear that someone else has the same issue. I also have an issue saving files from Ill. 10 to a PC server, the files disappear. My Ill. CS version doesn’t have these issues, weird.
