When I open my DOpus .. and click on the lock on the status bar , it says the format comes from default lister . When I click on another folder that changes to format comes from the default format.
The second I can edit under in preferences but the first format is built into the default lister itself ? and is not the default format ? nor editable in preferences ?
You can modify the default Lister format by setting your Lister up how you want it and then saving it using the Settings / Set As Default Lister command.
In addition to what Jon said, you might want to turn on Preferences / Launching Opus / Default Lister / Ignore folder format of Default Lister so the default lister's format is ignored and everything is down to the formats you can edit via Preferences.
When I do this, it will remember one pane (the right one, which I set to C:\Program Files (x86), but not the left pane, which I set to C:\Users[username]\Downloads. It always reverts the left pane to My Computer (just Computer in Windows 7). Why won't it accept the layout I want?
Windows 7 x64
Directory Opus 10
My psychic powers tell me you are opening Opus using the Windows-E hotkey, which is a Windows hotkey (not created by Opus) which explicitly opens My Computer.
You need to override the hotkey using Opus (or use a different hotkey entirely).
If you look under Settings -> Customize -> Keys, there's a Windows-O hotkey which should do what you want. Creating a Windows-E hotkey that runs the same command should override the default Windows-E hotkey.

I don't have that option. Under Settings, I just have Preferences (with no customize section), Customize Toolbars, File Types, Lister Themes, Set as Default Lister, Toolbars, Lister Layouts, and Backup and Restore.
Customize Toolbars = Customize
Thanks, that did the trick.
