The File handling » Load branch of Settings includes the following options.

Use default directory from shortcut on initial file open

Normally the directory used for File open is the last directory that the editor opened a file from. This directory information is retained when the editor is closed and restarted. When the Use default directory from shortcut on initial file open option is set, the normal behavior is overridden and the process default directory is used for the initial open. This allows you to set the default directory to the directory from which the application was invoked.

Use active file directory for file open dialog default

When this option is set, the normal behavior is overridden and the directory of the currently active file is used. This allows you to easily open a file from the same directory as an already open file by activating the file and then use the File open command.

Note: Only one of the previous two items above should be selected.

Open link (.lnk) files, not the file the link points to

This setting forces the editor to open link files for editing. The default setting (unchecked) will result in the editor following the link to open the linked file.

Open files as read-only by default

The Read only command toggles the read-only status of the file. If the read-only status is set, the file cannot be modified. If this setting is set, files will treated as read-only on open. This does not change the status of the file itself, just the ability to modify it within the editor.

Remember the read-only setting when reloading a file currently open

This setting forces the editor to maintain the read-only status of a file when the file is reloaded. By default, when a file is reloaded the read-only status will revert to the status of the file on disk. This would be useful with version control systems where the read-only status changes on a file in the repository. In this case, it's most likely desirable for the editor to reflect this as well.

 [[Category:Settings:File handling]]The '''File handling &raquo; Load''' branch of [[:Category:Settings|Settings]] includes the following options.
-<h2 class="setting">Reload files previously open on startup</h2>
-If this option is checked the editor saves path information for the open files when the editor is closed. This information is used to automatically reload the files that were open the next time the editor is started.  This allows easy reloading of a set of files that are edited on a regular basis.  If the editor is invoked automatically for printing the files are not reopened. Also see the '''Open from Explorer also opens files list''' setting in [[Settings:File handling:Advanced|Settings &raquo; File handling &raquo; Advanced]].
-<h2 class="setting">Reload FTP files when reloading a project or last open files</h2>
-This setting determines if the editor should reload FTP files when it reloads files for a project/workspace.  Typically FTP files are not reloaded  automatically due to the potential time delay in connecting and downloading the files.  Selecting this to option will ensure FTP files are always reloaded.
 <h2 class="setting">Use default directory from shortcut on initial file open</h2>
