Hi macray - attached here is a script that should help.

Copy the attached RememberLock.js script to some folder, like for example c:\scripts or wherever. It doesn't matter where, just put it somewhere that you won't accidentally delete it later.

Then set up a shortcut key and for the command part of the shortcut key put in the full path and file name to the RememberLock.js file. So for example if you put it in c:\scripts put in:    c:\scripts\RememberLock.js

Then when you push that short cut key, it will unlock everything but the lock state will be remembered. Then do your export, and then trigger the shortcut again and that previous lock state will be restored back again.
