Hello,

I know that the main menu on the bottom can be locked to the ALT menu, but
is there any way that it can STAY locked even after exting the software and
coming back?

I always want the ALT menu to show by default.

the "lock" isn't what you think it is. It doesn't lock the menu to always
use the macro keys, it's for setting the security permissions of those
buttons by cashier.
From the manual:

To set up a security level in the POS program

1. On the transaction screen, click on the blank field located to the
left of the F7: Set Customer function key. You should see the Security Mode
icon displayed both on the field that was just clicked and at the top of the
transaction screen.

2. Select the window whose security controls you want to define. For
this example, press F2 to display the Items window.

3. Press Ctrl-S. Each control will be highlighted in either a blue
(control currently as no access restrictions) or red (control currently has
some type of access restriction) color. If you move the cursor over the
controls, Store Operations highlights the selected control in yellow.

4. If you do not want certain cashiers to be able to delete an item at
the point-of-sale, you could restrict access to the Delete button. To do
this, click on the Delete button. You will see the Security window.

5. In the Access Rights table, position the cursor on the applicable
security level and either select or clear the Disable Change option for the
applicable security level. If you select (check) the option, the cashier
assigned to this security level will not be able to delete an item.

6. Click OK.

7. On the Items window, you can set the security access for the
applicable controls.

8. When you finish, press Ctrl-S. You can then display another window
and press Ctrl-S again to assign the security access privileges. Repeatedly
pressing Ctrl-S enables you to switch from assigning security control
behaviors to displaying other windows.

9. After you set up your security structure, click on the Security
Mode icon located on the bottom left corner of the transaction screen to exit
security mode.
