GETTING STARTED

Saving the window state
You can set a user preference to save the state of the window tabs on exiting Notes so that you will see the same open window tabs the next time you start Notes. If you want to see the same window tabs every time you use Notes, you might prefer to use the menu command File - Save Window State to permanently save a window state.

In either case, Notes saves the open windows as bookmarks in the LastState folder within More Bookmarks. If you have already dragged bookmarks to the Startup folder, the contents of the Startup folder takes precedence over the LastState folder when Notes starts.

Note The Save Window State command saves open window tabs in the current Notes instance only -- it does not save them in other Notes instances started with the Open in New Window command. Also, the ability to save the window state is not available if you are using Notes inside the IBM Workplace Managed Client.

To save the window state on each Notes exit

Use this procedure if you want to resume where you left off each time you exit Notes.

1. From the menu, choose File - Preferences - User Preferences.


2. Under Startup Options, select "Save window state on exit."

To save a window state for an extended period of time

Use this procedure if you like to use the same set of window tabs each time you use Notes.

1. Open all the window tabs that you want to save.

2. Choose File - Save Window State.


Note To save a different set of window tabs, repeat the above steps. To return to a clean window state, choose File - Clear Saved Window State.
