Hi Chris, for the units it's intentional that the setting under Options > General > Unit system sets the unit system for the current model and does not affect the default for when you initially start a new file. But next to that is a "Unit options" button, and if you push that then on the dialog that pops up there is an option there for setting the default unit system:
For the Transform palette being collapsed, try unmaximizing the window and stretch out the unmaximized window size to be large, then you can remaximize it. Does that make any difference? I think if your unmaximized window size is not big enough to hold the expanded palettes that could result in some of them being collapsed at startup.
