Article Title : ncdwm_default_vms Creation Date : unknown Author : unknown Last Update : Last Update By : NCD Technical Support Expiration Rules : Location : NCD-Articles/Host_Systems/VMS ============================================================================= 1) DECW$USER_DEFAULTS This is the default directory that resource files are read from. It is a change from previous version where the SYS$LOGIN: dir was used. By default it points to SYS$LOGIN but you can change it in the LOGIN.COM or the DECW$LOGIN.COM. 2) VUE$SYSTEM_PROFILE.VUE$DAT This file ostensibly contains the system bindings for the "Options" menu in each user's Session Manager. By changing the binding for "Window Manager" to be "@" each user will have the local wm started up instead of the default mwm. Running the following (after creating a display variable via set display/create/node=) will allow you to modify the system defaults: @vue$library:vue$create_public_profile.com UPDATE_SYSTEM_PROFILE This actually brings up FileView under the system account context. Another option here would be to redefine the default startup menu but I have not been able to get this to work. Seems to be riddled with bugs. Also you must make sure you reboot the VMS host after this change is made as will as the whole cluster if this change is made in a clustered environment.
