Premier Elements - Preferences not saved

Question

I re-loaded Premier Elements 2021 onto a machine I’ve been using for years, when Win 10 got corrupted and needed a fresh install. Whenever I load a template file, to bring in the parameters I want to start with (1080p, etc), it creates a batch of unwanted folders on my desktop (Autosave, Layout, etc). I have repeatedly opened Preferences, then Scratch Disks, and inserted the name of a folder (which is on a solid-state drive other than the one where my Premier Element project files are located, and other than the drive I save my mp4 files to). But, as soon as I close Premier Elements, it wipes out those folder names, and goes back to “desktop scattering” mode, the next time I open it. How can I get it to save, and use, the folder location I keep asking and telling it to use?

They are not unwanted folder but data which is need to run your project.

If you throw them away every time you open a project they will be recreated.

Best is to keep them in the same folder as the project is

In the scratch disk setting, set everything to same as project. See if that will work.
