1951.0. "A quick question.." by WFOFAC::BILL () Tue Dec 19 1989 21:08

                        
    
    
    Just a quick question.  What file can I modify to tailor the way
    Decwindows intializes??  Right now when you login to a session,
    Fileview starts on my system.  I do not want it to start.  What
    file/files do I need to modify to get rid of this or is this feature
    permanent?
    
    Thanks in advance...

1951.1From Session Manager Customize buttonRWCVAX::COULSONRoger Coulson - SASE(MSESU) DTN 223-6158Wed Dec 20 1989 08:4714

    No file modifications are necessary.  In your "Session Manager" window
    click on the "Customize" button and pull down to "AutoStart".  The items 
    in the left hand box are the applications available; the items in the
    right hand box are the applications selected to start when a session
    starts.  If you want multiples, say two DECterms then the entry will
    appear multiple times in the right hand box.  If you want to remove
    "FileView" from "AutoStart" then click on "FileView" in the right hand
    box and then click on "OK".  Don't forget to then pull down on the
    "Customize" button and select "Save Current Settings".

1951.2no Autostart for my Session ManagerESSAY::FRASCINELLAIn the beginning was the Word...Fri Jan 05 1990 10:5611
    Unfortunately, I have a new workstation running VMS V5.2 and I guess
    DECwindows V1.  The Session Manager has no such thing as Autostart in
    the Customize menu.  Is .1 talking about DECwindows V2? 
    
    My group is temporarily without a system manager, so we're not going to
    VMS V5.3 any time soon.  Can you translate 1951.1 into DECwindows V1 style
    for those of us just learning about DECwindows?
    
    Thanks,

1951.3Experiment...it is not that deep!!DECWIN::FISHERBurns Fisher 381-1466, ZKO3-4/W23Fri Jan 05 1990 17:258
I can't remember what the V1 menu said, but you could only set how many terminal
windows and whether to run fileview.

Experiment with the menu items in the customize menu.  (Only those that have
... after them.  I know it brings up a dialog box.  You probably don't want
to do "save" or "use system defaults" by accident).

Re: .2

As I recall, in V1 you can disable starting FileView by going into the
Session Manager dialog box from the Customize menu.
