| Default Startup File | Use this field to specify a data file that should be loaded by default, when Family Historian starts up. |
|---|---|
| Register as default application for GEDCOM files | If checked, Family Historian will automatically re-register itself, whenever it starts up, as the default application to use when opening GEDCOM files. Being the default application means that if you double-click on a GEDCOM file, Family Historian will be opened to load it. You are recommended to leave this option checked, unless you have some specific reason to do otherwise. |
| Display the Records Window, instead of the Focus Window, at Startup | Self-explanatory |
| Check for Updates Automatically | Get Family Historian to periodically check for new updates. |
