Question

Every time DirectSoft starts up, it takes forever to search for all of my links. How can this be avoided?

Answer

If you prefer to not have DirectSoft search for active links upon startup, you can disable this completely by going to C:/Windows/DSX00.ini and find the [COMM SERVER] header. Under this header place Autosense=0 . This will disable DirectSoft from auto searching for active links.




** The X in the .ini file will vary according to the version of DirectSoft the customer is running:
Version 1.0 = DS100.ini
Version 2.X = DS200.ini
Version 3.X = DS300.ini
etc.




** Also there are more than one set of .ini files on the hard drive. One is in the DirectSoft directory the other is in the Windows or WINNT directory. As stated above the one in the Windows or WINNT directory is the one to modify.




** At least one link must be configured in the software for this to work.
