Thanks, I'll take a look in the registry.

 

Any idea why it would stop allowing me to open the Startup and Path GUI's?  I rebooted a bunch of times.  The "message" GUI still comes up.

For now, I read through the documentation and realized I could include flags in the Windows shortcut properties, so it's functional.  Gem is great!!

This is a bug of the 0.38, use 0.39 or manually edit the entries in
Windows' registry.

Make sure you use the correct name - pd is case sensitive. Maybe you
want to try a startup command like:

pd -lib MY_GEM_DIRECTORY\Gem

This works for me.

I'm not really sure, but I think .pdrc is for OSX only. On Windows all
settings are saved in the registry.
