Using a Home Session

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 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've saved a home session, you can specify that logging in always restores that session instead of the current session.
