Menu Bar: Menu bar is shown if the checkmark is set.
The command to show the menu bar again is located in the context menu of the window's title
bar. This context menu, opened by clicking with the right mouse button, offers not only the
familiar Windows commands to manipulate the window but also the command to show the
menu bar.
The command to hide the menu bar can also be reversed by editing the ApolloExplorer.ini file
located in the user-specific folder.
Windows NT: …./Winnt/profiles/user/Local Settings/Apollo/ApolloExplorer.ini
Windows 2000: …/Documents and Settings/User/Local Settings/Apollo/ApolloExplorer.ini.
Changes to this file are not applied if the Apollo Explorer is in use! Close the Explorer
before editing this file!
Tool Bar: Checkmark set = tool bar is shown; no checkmark = tool bar is hidden
Status Bar: Checkmark set = status bar is shown; no checkmark = status bar is hidden
7.6.3 Tools menu
Menu item Options in the Tools menu opens a dialog box featuring five tabs used to customize the graphical
workspace.
The commands on these tabs refer to the Remote Desktop and the Layout Selector, both of
which are active only if the Display Wall has been selected in the object tree. Only then does
the workspace show the graphical display.
However, the configuration of this graphical display can be customized regardless of the
selection made in the object tree.
