I broke auto start in p3d v4

I had to reinstall p3d v4 and fs force (latest version) and now auto launch works but it is not started when I start the sim - I have to start fs force with the drop down add on menu.
probably a screwed up *.xml file ? but I can't figure it out...
Help please :?

Go into Profile Manager / Options, and set both Launch Options to "Don't Launch", and the set them both back to "Auto Launch".

If that doesn't work, try re-installing FS Force.

Tried both and no luck - still have to start fs-force from the drop down menu...
Thank's,

Everything looks good in your .xml files. I'm not sure why it is not working for you. No one has ever reported a problem like this before. At least you can start FS Force from within the sim. Just so you know, you could also start it from the Start menu, or you could create a shortcut on your desktop.

I decided to go back to a restore point (FS-Force wasn't the only thing that was broke :) ) before I mucked everything up and It works now....
Not the first time restore has saved my butt....
Thanks,
Bob
