How to Use Desktops
If you have several Bible studies on the go at once, you can
bookmark each one of them so you can quickly get back to a
particular study.
- To bookmark a particular Bible study, click on the toolbar icon
that looks like a desk with a light over it or press F6.
- The Desktop form opens with several tab options. Select Create
and give your Bible study a unique name. Click OK to save the
study. All your settings for that study are saved as well as the
contents of each open window.
- Think of Desktops as a giant bookmark. To access that Bible
study, click on the Desktop Icon in the toolbar or press F6. Double
click on the title of the name of the desktop you wish to
load.
- The default desktop "Online Bible Desktop" is not one you
should use every time you load a new version or module. This
desktop is replaced with the install default desktop.
- You may wish to create a Default Desktop that has all the
settings you normally use selected. Then when you wish to create a
new desktop, load in your default desktop, configure it the way you
want and then save it under a new name.
Hint:
The program saves the current settings when you
close it (click on X in top right or "File - Exit"). It will open
to the same desktop when starting up.
Opening the Program to a Specific Desktop
The program may be started using any desktop you have previously
created. Follow the steps below.
- Select the desktop you want to use and write down the name for
reference.
- Right click on the program icon to open up the popup menu.
- Click on properties.
- Look for the box labeled "Target".
- Add "Your Desktop" at the end of the text. Be sure to include
the quotation marks. The target label text should read -
c:\<path name>\olb.exe "Your Desktop"
or
"c:\<path name>\olb.exe" "Your Desktop"
- Click on "Apply" and then "Close"
Next time the program starts up it will open to "Your
Desktop".
Hint:
By adding a minus in front or behind the desktop
name, the startup screen will be eliminated. Do not place the minus
inside the quotation marks.
Example
c:\Program Files (x86)\bible\olb.exe - "Your Desktop"
or
"c:\Program Files (x86)\bible\olb.exe" - "Your Desktop"
- You can create several program shortcut icons on your Windows
desktop, each one opening up to a different desktop.
- If you are not able to locate the program icon see Related
Topics " How To Eliminate Startup Screen" for more
