Would it be possible to add a save preferences button for screen layout? It is frustrating to have to open all of my windows every time I login. I would also like to choose a location and use it as my default. California is currently the default.

Yes I also think those suggestions would be very nice improvements.

I agree.. Save preference button would be nice

To save your desktop layout :
Desktop > Game > Save Desktop

To choose and save a base region :
Desktop > Game > Profile > Misc tab
