Locking foldable windows (Visibility, Options, Find)

In Allegro I have docked these menus in a specific place and somehow "locked" them.  I remember doing it long ago but do not remember or can't find how.  Does anyone know?    Thanks

    Thanks!  Good video.  But there is something else that gives you the option to lock things in place.   I've scoured the menus and can't find it.

    I believe the UI state is stored in the allegro.geo file between sessions.  Keep a backup copy of that file?

    Look in %HOME%/pcbenv/
