Now the procedure windows will be maximized when starting.
Remove Menus and Toolbars
Use the Settings | Customize to add/remove menus. The changes will then be permanent for the user.
Purge the Six Latest Procedures Shown in the File Menu
Under File in the Window menu, you find the six latest opened procedures as shortcuts. If they have not been purged, you can start these procedures even though you do not have the user rights.
These are purged if you delete the following rows in the user's ini-file [username].ini, that you will find in the Monwin\ini\[company number]\ directory.
Please note that this is not the same ini file as in the section above about Maximize MONITOR's procedure windows.
