Ok, I haven't got the wbstartup+ (I guess it does not come with Classic WB). I could try that out
Thanks again Bamiga2002.
@Bloodwych:
Could the problem be that the file actually *should* be there, so that Freewheel loads the prefs on every boot. In my case the file just would not be there originally and then when I fiddled with the WBSManager it somehow got there but as executable or something (I'm not so good with Amiga filesystem properties etc)?
