Default Waves forgetting its preferences

I've been going gently mad over the past few months as my Waves plugins didn't appear in AudioSuite. Eventually I found out that if I held shift on starting PT10, I got a preferences box, and "do not use in AudioSuite" was checked. Hallelujah, I cried, unchecked it and everything magically appeared.

Until I restarted the app and realised I was back to square one. The box always reverts to checked.

I can make the box come up every time and manually uncheck it, but that's pretty rubbish, isn't it? Is there a way to make this change permanent? Registry? I'm sure it's not supposed to behave like this, but just after a pragmatic solution. I've uninstalled and reinstalled PT a few times in the last few weeks, but the behaviour hasn't changed.

Thanks all.

PT 10.3.9, Win 7 64 bit

Phew, found it - not as bad as a registry hack, fortunately. On a PC:

C\Users\~\AppData\Roaming\WavesAudio\Preferences

Open WaveShell-DAE_Prefs with notepad (make a backup just in case)

Edit
bDontUseAudioSuite Value="true"
to make it "false"

That's it. PT seems to remember it now. Don't know why using the tickbox gets reset after the session otherwise. This'll help some forum searcher in the future one day I hope.

Good that you found it. Shame I'm not running a Windows system on a regular basis anymore (at least not for PT) as this is the type of thing I used to be real good at (that and Registry hacks to make things work that shouldn't work).
