Setting meter options

I like to work with console fader meters set at 90db in tracks, buses and main outs.
Problem is that I don't seem to be able to carry this setting into the next session.
When I reopen the project, and the faders have all been reset to 42db.
I've tried every way of setting meter options and saved the screensets but always they come back set at 42db.
Also, when I set the values via Ctrl+right-click on a track or bus meter itself, the settings are changed for all the respective visible faders but not reflected in the various View/Options menu options. (Ctrl+right-click set to 90db, View/Options menu option still shows 42db ticked.)
Also, when I have set them for tracks, buses and main outs, the settings are not reflected in the Inspector and I need to set them there again. 
Anyone else get this?

    Create a project template with your meter settings and chose it for your new sessions

    Screenset locked? They should save with the project but a locked screenset will stop that happening.

    Thanks, CJ.
    I did that and it keeps everything except main outs, which revert to 42db.

    Thanks FBB.
    I always ensure that screenset is unlocked and then locked before saving the project.
    I assume that unlocking a screenset will mean that any changes I have made to it while working in the project will be saved when I lock it again, even if all the changes I made were prior to actually unlocking it... if you follow me.
