Glossary  Return to Start  Previous  Next

 

To start Personal Knowbase with a data file already loaded:

 

Select the Preferences command from the File menu.

 

The Preferences dialog box is displayed.

 

Select the Files tab.

 

From the Open File at Startup box, select the Open File option.

 

Selecting this option activates the Browse button.

 

Select the Browse button.

 

The Open File at Startup dialog box is displayed.

 

Use this dialog box to select the data file that you want to open automatically every time Personal Knowbase starts.

 

Select the Open button to return to the Preferences dialog box.

 

Select the OK button to close the Preferences dialog box, saving your changes.

 

The next time you start the software, your specified data file will load automatically.

 

TIP:Since all Knowbase data files are "associated" with the Personal Knowbase application, whenever you double-click on any data file in Windows Explorer, Personal Knowbase will start up with that file opened. Also, if you place a shortcut to a data file on your Windows desktop, every time you select the shortcut, Personal Knowbase starts up with that data file opened. Refer to Windows Help for information on creating shortcuts to files.
