Preserving initial screen layout (appearance)

Each time I close the current folder, I am greeted with only the “Open a folder” screen. The primary and secondary side bars are gone and I only have one edit window. I have to go to “view/appearance” and" view/editor layout" to restore my layout. Since I start new projects with platformio, I have to first bring up the primary side bar to bring up platformio. I have “windows/preserve” set but that does not help. It seemed that I did not have this issue before I switched from just VSC to the Cursor version of VSC. Can anyone point out how I can save this user layout so each time I “start clean” by closing a folder, I have my primary and secondary side bar and my two editor windows all in the proportions that I set them? I know this should be basic stuff, but I just spent two hours searching on this and none of what I found seems to work. Thanks

Were you able to get this figured out? I cant even install platformio with cursor.

Nope. Got no help from cursor community or from vsc community

I appreciate it. At least I figured out how to get it installed.
