1474.0. "fileview questions" by LEVERS::S_SHEN () Thu Sep 21 1989 17:24

    I have VMS 5.1 and Decwindow on my workstation. I moved my account
    from dua0:[shen] to dua1:[s_shen] (by exec authorize). But in Decwindow
    fileview, it still points to the old directory (dua0:[shen]) even
    if I create a new fileview window. The fileview should use the same
    default login directory, right? What's the problems? How to correct
    it?

    That's an easy one.  It even documented, I think.
    
    Fileview will save (in it's VUE$PROFILE file) the name of the default
    directory.  You can do two things:
    
    (1)	If it has no customizations that you need, just delete the file and
    	restart Fileview.  Fileview and recreate a new one, or
    (2) If it does have customizations, then simply enter the new default
    	directory in the appropriate field and do a "Save Startup View"
    	under the customization menu.
    
    In either of these changes, Fileview will start up fine.
