I eliminate ''disable'' all the inconvenient TAB's... Simply go to:
In version 10.21
Contest | Exchange format setup | ( select ) NO it will open a window
EDIT QSO EXCHANGE FIELDS.
Now selec the field you dont want to see in the QSO ENTRY window, for
example
RST disable the PROMPT. Include in QSO entry prompt | SAVE it.
now select Country disable also the Prompt. Include in QSO entry prompt |
save it
Now select C disable also the Prompt. Include in QSO entry prompt | save it
Strike OK and all is done.
Now click mouse in the Qso Entry window it changes to a small size window
with only CALL and ZONE only 2 fields to play... hihi all the other fields
hide and will be printed in the log .
As you can see you can made a lot of changes for your hown taste hihi
For example I change the QSO Entry FONT SIZE for a big size font
Go to Setup | Entry window font, and choose the size you like.

Edit the WRITELOG .INI it is in the Windows and :
Set AutoSaveCount to the number of QSOs allowed between automatically saving
the log. Set this to -1 and WriteLog will not autosave. If you make no entry
here, WriteLog will auto-save after every 100 QSOs.
AutoSaveCount= -1
( give a look at Help | Writelog .INI )
