Filer windows opening at startup

Hello

I do not know how I did it, but every time I boot up RiscOS, when the pinboard is loaded two filer windows open up… It is irritating, but I can’t find how to disable this…

Help would be much appreciate.

Regards

François

Search and delete or comment out (|) a entry in

!Boot.Choices.Boot.Desktop

or

…Boot.Tasks.!Boot

that begin with Filer_OpenDir…

Thanks Raik :)

I just find that creating a folder in !Boot.Choices.Boot.Tasks causes the folder to open…!

Yes, it will. All the contents of Boot.Tasks is ‘run’ in some way during the boot process, so things can be started and initialised at boot time. The action for a bare empty folder is to Filer_Run it … which will open it. You should probably not put anything in Tasks unless you know what you are doing, otherwise you can cause your boot process to fail!

@François
If you save your desktop-settings via TaskManager and any filer windows are open, you save this also and the windows are open after next boot.

Martins words are right!!!

I just find that creating a folder in !Boot.Choices.Boot.Tasks causes the folder to open…!

That is normal. The only logical action to “run” on a directory is to open it.

If you really want a directory in Tasks, create an application directory (!blah) and inside that create an !Run file to do what needs to be done.

Indeed, everything is logic with RiscOS… You just have to know it :)
