There are three options on the Workspaces page of the System Options dialog box that you can use to determine what displays when you start PowerBuilder.
To open the System Options dialog box:
Select Tools>System Options from the menu bar.
If you want PowerBuilder to open the last workspace you used at startup, check Reopen Workspace at Startup.
If you want PowerBuilder to open the last workspace you used and the painters and editors you were using, check Reopen Workspace on Startup and Reload Painters When Opening Workspace. When you open PowerBuilder, any painters and editors that were open when you closed PowerBuilder are reloaded. If you edited a script before closing PowerBuilder, the Script view is scrolled to show the last line you edited.
If you want PowerBuilder to open without loading a workspace, clear Reopen Workspace on Startup. If you want the painters and editors that were open when you last used a workspace to be reloaded when you reopen it, clear Reopen Workspace on Startup and check Reload Painters When Opening Workspace.
If you want to see the Welcome to PowerBuilder dialog box when you start PowerBuilder, check Show Start Dialog at Startup with no Workspace and clear Reopen Workspace at Startup. The Welcome to PowerBuilder dialog box is shown in “The PowerBuilder environment”.
