Ordinarily, HP VUE saves session information when you log out and uses that information to start your next session. If you start or stop applications during your session, or use Style Manager to change the appearance and behavior of your system, changes you make are reflected in your next session. This type of session is called a current session.

HP VUE also provides a home session. A home session is a session that you explicitly save. It's like taking a snapshot of your current session at some point in time. Once you have saved a home session, you can specify that logging in always restores that session instead of the current session.

Saving a Home Session

  1. Choose the Style Manager control in the Front Panel. The Style Manager appears.

  2. Choose the Startup button in Style Manager to display the Startup dialog.

    Choose "Set Home Session ..." to save the current state of your session.
  4. A warning dialog box appears, informing you that this action will replace your home session with the current session. Choose OK.

Automatically Starting the Home Session at Login

  1. Choose the Style Manager control in the Front Panel.

  2. Choose the Startup control in Style Manager to display the Startup dialog.

  3. Select "Return to Home session."

  4. Choose OK.

When you choose "Return to Home session," Session Manager will not save your session at logout.

Choosing Between Current and Home Session

  1. Choose the Style Manager control in the Front Panel.

  2. Choose the Startup button in Style Manager to display the Startup dialog.

  3. Select "Ask me at Logout."

  4. Choose OK.

You decide what will be your next session—current or home—at logout time. If you choose "Return to Home session," the current information is not saved. (You cannot change your mind the next time you log in.)

If you choose "Resume Current Session" and you have opened a large number of of terminal windows, HP VUE will try to start them all the next time you log in, which could take several minutes.
