How to load symbol libraries at startup

Question

Using some other help topics, Ive configured Capture in an attempt to load all my libraries in the "place part" window at startup by adding the following to capture.ini 
 [Part Library Directories] Dir0=C:\Users\ac137\Cadence-Library\Symbols [Footprint Viewer Type] Type=Allegro [Allegro Footprints] Dir0=C:\Users\ac137\Cadence-Library\Footprints Dir1=C:\Cadence\SPB_17.4\share\pcb\pcb_lib\Symbols 
 However when I start Capture the libraries pane is still empty and I have to load my libraries every time. 
 
 Ive confirmed that the Cadence-Library\Symbols directory I specified contains OLB files. Ive started Capture with a bare minimum capture.ini with only the above lines to the same effect. Is there a setting somewhere else I'm missing? Am I configuring it wrong?

Add libraries under [Part Selector Configured Libraries] section in capture.ini present at %Home% location as follows: 
 [Part Selector Configured Libraries] Number of Configured Libraries=8 Library0=C:\CADENCE\SPB174\TOOLS\CAPTURE\LIBRARY\MISC3.OLB Library1=C:\CADENCE\SPB174\TOOLS\CAPTURE\LIBRARY\DRAM.OLB Library2=C:\CADENCE\SPB174\TOOLS\CAPTURE\LIBRARY\MISCLINEAR.OLB Library3=C:\CADENCE\SPB174\TOOLS\CAPTURE\LIBRARY\FILTER.OLB Library4=C:\CADENCE\SPB174\TOOLS\CAPTURE\LIBRARY\ELECTROMECHANICAL.OLB Library5=C:\CADENCE\SPB174\TOOLS\CAPTURE\LIBRARY\FIFO.OLB Library6=C:\CADENCE\SPB174\TOOLS\CAPTURE\LIBRARY\GATE.OLB Library7=C:\CADENCE\SPB174\TOOLS\CAPTURE\LIBRARY\FPGA.OLB 
 Then, Place part section will look like it:
