170 Chapter 10 Managing Preferences
The table below describes what settings in each Classic pane can do.
Selecting Classic Startup Options
Workgroup Manager provides a number of ways to control how and when the Classic
environment starts.
If users often work with applications that run in Classic, it is convenient to have Classic
start up immediately when a user logs in. If users rarely need Classic, you can have
Classic start only when a user opens a Classic application or a document that requires
such an application.
You can also choose to display an alert when Classic starts, giving users the option to
cancel Classic startup.
To work with various startup options for Classic:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2 Make sure the correct directory is selected and you are authenticated.
To switch directories, click the globe icon. If you are not authenticated, click the lock
and enter the name and password of a directory domain administrator.
3 Select one or more users, groups, computers, or computer groups.
4 Click Classic and then click Startup.
5 Set the management setting to Always.
6 To start Classic immediately when a user logs in, select “Start up Classic at login.”
When Classic starts up at login, the startup window is hidden and the user can’t cancel
Classic startup.
If users rarely use Classic, you can deselect this option and Classic starts up when a user
opens a document or an application that requires it. In this case, the Classic startup
window is visible to users and they can cancel Classic startup.
7 To show an alert dialog only when Classic starts after a user attempts to open a Classic
application or document, select “Warn at Classic startup.”
If users manually start Classic, or Classic automatically starts up at login, the warning is
not shown.
Users can allow Classic startup to continue or they can cancel the process. If you don’t
want to allow users to interrupt Classic startup, deselect this option.
