why I quite often lost my desktop configurations

Hi there,

I am using hpux 11.11 on a c3000. the problem I quite often encountered is that when I login I lost all the settings of the desktop, for example, the backdrops, the color scheme, etc.; it looks like it's my first time login as a "brand new" user. Anything wrong?
Thanks in advance

Click on the icon with a mouse and a paint pallette on the bottom of your screen. The style manager icons should appear. Select startup. Click on set home session. Click ok to replace your existing home session.

Hi,

Try setting a default home session.

right click your mouse in cde, select tools, desktop controls, window style manager, startup.

set return to home session
set home session > ok.

Regards,
Robert-Jan

Also click on the "At Startup: Resume Home Session" button.
