Okay, so the past few weeks/months I've been having a problem with my config not saving anything at all, currently when I boot up the game I have to go through a massive list of shitty options to get my TF2 running how I want it (auto reload on, console on, damage numbers on etc. etc.)
As a last ditch attempt I have completely removed my config and done a fresh install of TF2 from scratch and it still won't save any of my settings/configurations when I load up the game. I even created a basic autoexec file that will have some of the main settings that I want and it will still ignore that as well.
Does anyone have any ideas why it's not keeping my information? I've removed it from Steam Cloud Sync and made sure my config files aren't set to read only.

Is -autoconfig in the launch options?

What happens when you manually exec the autoexec.cfg you created? Try putting in an echo somewhere (echo "Bla bla test bla THIS IS IN CAPS SO THAT I WILL BE SURE TO SEE IT IN CONSOLE"), see if it's executing your autoexec on startup, and if not, try execing it manually, and see if the echo appears in console. It won't fix anything per se, but it could give some clues about what's wrong.

That all works, the autoexec is booting up correctly.
There's nothing in my config file though, it's just blank. I was under the impression that in that file my settings that I apply in game will go over to there?
The only thing that I noticed which I'm not sure if it's normal or not is that the folders are marked Read Only, if I turn that off it just turns itself back on again.

Try this to remove read only (assuming you're not on windows 8):

Okay, so I've tried everything and it's not working so I have to put all the commands and options I need manually in to a config.
If anyone knows the commands for the following:
tf2 not going jolty when you ATL+TAB and keeping the sound going when you alt tab also.
Thank you.

WARHURYEAHtf2 not going jolty when you ATL+TAB
engine_no_focus_sleep 0
I don't know the command for background audio, I'd love to know that one too.

What if you set up everything while in tf2 and use "host_writeconfig anyname" and copy it's contents to your config.cfg and set it to read only and then relaunch tf2?
Also command for background audio is snd_mute_losefocus 0
