Reopen Last Windows
This section specifies whether or not FileBoss should reopen any windows that were open when it last closed. And, if it should, what types of windows it should reopen.
Yes or No
A No setting tells FileBoss to never automatically open any previous windows. When No is selected, the other options will be greyed and disabled.
When Yes is selected one or more of the following options may be selected. Not selecting any of these options is equivalent to selecting No.
Explore Views
The Desktop folder, i.e. the root folder of your computer system
Virtual Folders
Any Virtual Folder that has been saved to disk. When FileBoss starts it will re-load file and display it.
Virtual Folder Definitions
Virtual Folders that were open but not saved to disk. The same options that were used to create the Virtual Folder will be used again.
Note: If FileBoss cannot load any windows according to these settings then it will open a default Explore View according to the settings in Initial Explore Folder section above.
Restarting FileBoss when Windows Starts
