I use a laptop to do my daily work. When at the office, 80% of the time I am plugged into an external monitor. The other 20% I am going mobile -- in meetings, at home, etc. Whenever I go from being plugged in to 'mobile', Photoshop will forget its toolbar positions and settings.

Is there a way to fix this? How?

Note that the laptop's screen has 1920x1080 resolution, whereas the external monitor's screen has 1900x1200.

It doesn't forget them so much as they cease to be relevant when given another display's geometry. Have you tried defining two different workspaces and simply switching between them?

I will try your suggestion and post my results back. – Joshua Nov 19 '09 at 18:47
This sort of answers my question. Photoshop still 'forgets', but by switching to the Default Workspace and then switching back to my defined one I am able to set menus and palettes back the way I want them. – Joshua Nov 19 '09 at 18:56
Don't rely on any default and you'll probably be much happier. – Hasaan Chop Nov 19 '09 at 20:35
I did save a custom one. By switching back to default I mean switching from my saved workspace to the default and back to the saved. It's essentially just a couple of clicks compared to having to resize / reposition everything each time. Either way good answer :) – Joshua Nov 24 '09 at 15:45
By the way I would vote your answer up, except I only have 13 reputation points right now -- I need at least 15 :( – Joshua Nov 24 '09 at 15:48
