-<title>The Autostart Folder</title>
-
-<para>Before I discovered the Autostart folder, my daily startup
-routine with &kde; consisted of the following: Start &kde;, start
-&kedit;, start &konsole;, start &Netscape;, and start &kscd;. This
-took time I could have spent better. Native &kde; programs left open
-at the end of a session will save their state and reappear when you
-login again, but there are some programs (like &Netscape;) that will
-not. You can use the <filename>Autostart</filename> folder for these
-programs.</para>
-
-<para>To launch programs when &kde; is started, do the
-following:</para>
-
-<procedure>
-<step>
-<para>Open the <filename>Autostart</filename> folder. By default this
-folder is at <filename
-class="directory">$<envar>HOME</envar>/.trinity/share/autostart</filename></para>
-</step>
-<step>
-<para>Open a &konqueror; window and browse to the program you want to
-add. If you don't know how to do this, it was covered in <xref
-linkend="the-filemanager-screen"/></para>
-</step>
-<step>
-<para>Drag and drop the desired program from the &konqueror; window
-on to the <filename class="directory">autostart</filename> folder.
-When asked, choose <guimenuitem>Link</guimenuitem> to create a
-symbolic link rather than a full copy, as this saves a great deal of
-disk space.</para>
-</step>
-<step>
-<para>Repeat the above steps for every program you want started when
-&kde; is launched. Remember, you don't need to add native &kde;
-applications, just leave them open when you log out, and they will
-open up again as if nothing had happened, the next time you log in to
-&kde;.</para>
-</step>
-<step>
-<para>Restart &kde; if you want to see the autostart function in
-action.</para>
-</step>
-</procedure>
-
-<para>Your programs should have launched automatically when &kde;
-restarted. If you want to add something special (e.g., you want to see
-a certain web site when your system goes up), read <link
-linkend="using-templates">Using templates</link>. The procedures
-described there work for any folder, so you can also apply them to
-the <filename>Autostart</filename> folder, as well.</para>

-<title>Adding Programs and Shortcut Icons to Your <guimenu>K</guimenu> menu and Panel</title>
-
-
-<para>The &kde; <guimenu>K</guimenu> menu and &kicker; are not limited
-to the setup you find right after installing &kde;. The &kde; panel
-is designed to be extended, and there are two main ways of doing that:
-Adding new programs, and adding shortcut icons.</para>
-
-<sect2 id="menu-items-add">
-<title>Adding menu entries</title>
-
-<para>&kde; comes with a great many applications already in the menu.
-Depending on your operating system and distribution, this could
-include many non-&kde; applications. &kde; also includes an
-application that will search your hard drive for more applications,
-and add them to the menu for you. Try pressing <keycombo
-action="simul"><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo> and entering
-<userinput>kappfinder</userinput> to see it in action &mdash;
-operation is very straightforward.</para>
-
-<para>&kappfinder; is clever enough, but it doesn't know about every
-application there is. Or perhaps you simply don't want to have all
-those applications in the menu, and just want to add a single extra
-program.</para>
-
-<para>To add your favorite programs to the &kde; menu, you can use
-the <application>KDE Menu Editor</application>. To start it, use the
-<guimenu>K</guimenu> menu and choose
-<menuchoice><guimenuitem>System</guimenuitem><guimenuitem>Menu
-Editor</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.</para>
-
-<para>A window will open showing the existing <guimenu>K</guimenu> menu
-on the left, and an empty menu entry dialog on the
-right</para>
-
-<para>For this example, we will be adding an entry for the
-<application>Gimp</application> under the
-<guisubmenu>Graphics</guisubmenu> submenu. If you already have a
-<guimenuitem>Gimp</guimenuitem> entry there and don't want a new one,
-you can still follow through this example, but just don't click the
-<guibutton>Apply</guibutton> when you are done.</para>

-mostly empty, except for the name you already gave.</para>
-</step>
-<step>
-<para>Fill in an optional <guilabel>Comment</guilabel>. You might
-like to put <userinput>An image editor</userinput> for the example.
-Text entered here will be shown as a tool-tip in the
-<guimenu>K</guimenu> menu.</para>
-</step>
-<step>
-<para>Enter in the box labeled <guilabel>Command</guilabel>, the
-command you would type on the command line to open your application.
-For this example, this is <command>gimp</command>. You may also enter
-any optional command line parameters if you wish. You can use this to
-make a menu entry that always opens a particular document or image,
-for example. Check the application's documentation to find out more
-about command line parameters.</para>
-</step>
-<step>
-<para>If you want the application to operate from a particular
-directory (for example, for <application>Gimp</application> to begin
-it's <guilabel>Load Image</guilabel> dialog in a particular place)
-enter this path in the box labeled <guilabel>Work Path</guilabel>.
-This is optional.</para>
-</step>
-<step>
-<para>If you wish to change the icon from the default
-<quote>unknown</quote>, click on the <guiicon>icon</guiicon> to the
-right of the dialog, to open a standard &kde; icon chooser.</para>

-<para>Some applications must be <guilabel>run in a terminal</guilabel>
-window (for example <application>Pine</application>). If this is the case,
-check the appropriate check box.</para>
-</step>

-<title>Shortcut Icons</title>
-
-<para>Although &kde; is much more comfortable than the average &UNIX;
-window manager, everyone wants a solution for a one-click way to start
-a program. Later, you will learn how to create links and files on your
-desktop, but this also has some disadvantages: sometimes all your
-desktops are filled up with windows, and you cannot reach your icons
-without minimizing all the windows that cover them. For commonly used
-programs, you can minimize this problem and speed access by creating
-shortcut icons on the &kde; panel.</para>
-
-<para>To create a shortcut on the &kicker; panel, you have some
-choices: Drag-and-drop, or via a menu. </para>
-
-<procedure>
-<title>Adding a shortcut icon with the menu</title>
-<step><para>Click on the <guiicon>K</guiicon> icon and choose <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Panel
-Menu</guisubmenu><guisubmenu>Add</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Application</guimenuitem>
-</menuchoice>.</para></step>
-<step><para>You will see the top level of the <guimenu>K</guimenu> menu
-again. Go through the menus to find the entry for which you
-want to create the shortcut, such as <guimenuitem>Home directory</guimenuitem>
-or &konqueror;. Click on the program you want.</para>
-</step>
-</procedure>
-
-<para>A new icon will appear on the panel. Click on it, and the program will
-start.</para>
-
-<para>Adding a shortcut icon with drag-and-drop is even simpler - just
-drag any icon from your desktop, or a &konqueror; window, to an empty
-space on the panel.</para>
-
-<para>What happens when you drag an item to your panel depends on what
-kind of item it is:</para>

-pop up giving you a choice of <guimenuitem>Add as a File Manager
-URL</guimenuitem> or <guimenuitem>Add as a QuickBrowser</guimenuitem>.
-Choosing the first will create an icon that opens a &konqueror;
-window, starting at this directory, while choosing the latter will
-open that directory as a menu from the Panel.</para></listitem>

-<title>Creating New Files On Your Desktop</title>
-
-<para>Your desktop can be an efficient place to work. Every time you
-start &kde;, you can see the complete files, folders and &URL;s which
-you often use.</para>
-
-<para>There are two ways to create and edit files on your desktop. In
-any application, you can say that you want to save your work in the
-Desktop subfolder of your home directory. For example, my home
-directory is <filename class="directory">/home/stupiddog</filename>,
-so my Desktop directory is <filename
-class="directory">/home/stupiddog/Desktop</filename>. Everything you
-save there will be put on your desktop.</para>
-
-<para>If you want to move existing files to your Desktop, the best way
-to achieve this is to use &konqueror;. Open a file manager window and
-drag the files you need to your desktop. You can choose to copy them
-if you want to keep all your common stuff on the desktop now, or you
-can create symbolic links to the real files. Everything you change in
-the link files will be automatically updated in the originals. For
-more information on how to use drag &amp; drop and the file manager,
-see the chapter <link linkend="moving-files-with-drag-and-drop">Moving

-<sect1 id="using-templates">
-<title>Placing Links on Your Desktop</title>
-
-<para>Placing files on your desktop may shorten the paths you need to
-enter. However, sometimes it would be nice if you could start &kedit;
-with a commonly edited file already opened in it. And how often do you
-find yourself frustrated after browsing through endless lists of
-bookmarks to find a site you visit often? Wouldn't it be nice if
-everything necessary to deliver you to that site was done
-automatically after clicking a single icon?</para>
-
-<sect2 id="using-mimetype">
-<title>Using Templates</title>
-
-<para>Templates provide a convenient mechanism for performing tasks
-such as those outlined above. Templates can also be used to associate
-particular file extensions with a specific application. When a file
-ending in a known extension is double-clicked, the application
-associated with that extension is automatically started. In short,
-<emphasis>templates</emphasis> help you get the most out of

-<step><para>A new icon will be created on your desktop.</para></step>
-</procedure>
-
-<para>Your new Internet shortcut can be customized like any other
-shortcut icon. <mousebutton>Right</mousebutton> click on the icon and
-choose <guimenuitem>Properties</guimenuitem>, and you can change the
-icon, or the name of the shortcut as you wish.</para>
-
-</sect2>
-<sect2>
-
-<title>Using &MIME; Types</title>
-
-<para>&MIME; Types are very powerful. Employing them, you can easily
-customize your system such that clicking on a file of a specific type
-starts the application with which that file type has been associated.
-For example, all <literal role="extension">.mod</literal> files could
-be set to start &noatun;, <literal role="extension">.html</literal>
-files could open a &konqueror; window showing the file, and a
-<filename>core</filename> file can be viewed with the &khexedit; by
-simply clicking on the <filename>core</filename> file.</para>
-
-<warning>
-<para>Although &MIME; types are very powerful, they are not without
-dangers. Playing around with &MIME; types as the system administrator
-(<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>) can damage a &kde;
-system so severely that it cannot be restarted! In this example, you will
-create your <emphasis>personal</emphasis> &MIME; style, which is only
-relevant for you. It will only affect other users if you copy or move
-it to <filename
-class="directory">$<envar>TDEDIR</envar>/share/mimelnk</filename>.</para>
-</warning>
-
-<para>To link a certain file type with a particular application:</para>
-
-<procedure>
-
-<step><para>Make sure the application you want to start this file type
-has an entry in the <guimenu>K</guimenu> menu.</para></step>
-
-<step><para>In &konqueror; find or make a file with the extension you
-wish to link.</para></step>
-
-<step><para><mousebutton>Right</mousebutton> click on the file, and
-choose <guimenuitem>Edit File Type</guimenuitem> from the context
-menu, or choose <menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Edit
-File Type</guimenuitem></menuchoice> in the &konqueror; menu
-bar.</para></step>
-
-<step><para>Add file masks for the application by clicking the
-<guibutton>Add</guibutton> button, and entering the file pattern you
-want. Remember that &UNIX; is case sensitive, so you may need to add
-variations - <userinput>*.mp3</userinput> may need
-<userinput>*.MP3</userinput> added as well, for example. Add as many
-masks as you like in this way.</para></step>
-
-<step><para>Add a description if you like. This is
-optional.</para></step>
-
-<step><para>In the section labeled <guilabel>Application Preference
-Order</guilabel>, press the <guibutton>Add</guibutton> button. A
-miniature copy of the <guimenu>K</guimenu> menu will
-open, where you can choose the application you want files of this type
-to be opened with.</para></step>
-
-<step><para>Sometimes, you may want to use a different application to
-open this file type. For example, you might like to use &kate; to
-open text files you wish to edit, and &kedit; for text files that you
-just want to take a quick peek into. You can add more applications in
-the same way as you did in the last step, and you can change the
-preferred order using the <guibutton>Move Up</guibutton> and
-<guibutton>Move Down</guibutton> buttons.</para></step>
-
-<step><para>If you're satisfied with your choices, you can click the
-<guibutton>Apply</guibutton> button to save your changes without
-closing the dialog box. This gives you the opportunity to test in the
-&konqueror; window that your file association is correct. You can
-choose <guibutton>OK</guibutton> to save your changes and close the
-dialog box, or <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton> if you have changed your
-mind and just want to close the dialog box.</para></step>
-</procedure>
-
-<para>Be sure to try your new association by opening a directory
-containing a file of the type you just selected. Click on the file,
-and the program needed to edit it should start.</para>
-
-<note>
-<para>
-&MIME; types are a way of describing the contents of files. You may
-be used to using file extensions for that purpose, and you may know
-that on &UNIX; systems the file extension often bear little or no
-relation to the contents of the file. On the other hand, it may be
-vital - for example, some implementations of <command>gunzip</command>
-won't operate on files that aren't named <literal
-role="extension">.gz</literal>.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-&MIME; types naturally make use of filename patterns, but not
-necessarily the extensions - you can set up any filename pattern you
-like. For example, if you always want to open any files relating to a
-particular client with &kate;, and you make a habit of naming the
-files with the client's name at the beginning so that they naturally
-group in the &konqueror; window, then you can set up a filename
-pattern that matches
-<literal>^<replaceable>clientname</replaceable>*</literal>. Then any
-files that have <replaceable>clientname</replaceable> at the beginning
-(the <literal>^</literal> character means <quote>starts
-with...</quote>) and without any regard to the rest of the filename.

-<title>Using the Trash Can</title>
-
-<para>Under normal circumstances, deleting a file under &UNIX; is
-something which cannot be undone. However, with &kde;, you can choose
-<guimenuitem>Move to Trash</guimenuitem> instead of
-<guimenuitem>Delete</guimenuitem>. This will move the file into the
-<filename class="directory">Trash</filename> Folder, which, by
-default, is accessible as an icon on your desktop. In the <filename
-class="directory">Trash</filename> Folder, you can always recover
-deleted files. Remember to empty the trashcan now and then by clicking
-on it using the right mouse button, then choosing <guimenuitem>Empty
-trashcan</guimenuitem>, otherwise you might run out of disk space
-because the files still need space. Note, however, that once you empty
-the <filename>Trash</filename> Folder, the files contained therein are
-lost forever.</para>
