Properties panel keeps coming back even though it's not saved with workspace

Why does the Properties panel keep coming back???? I remove it from my workspace but it reappears when restarting PSD

If you restore your preferences using this manual method does it work correctly?

If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back.
