Customizing Timbuktu Pro's General Options

The General tab lets you specify whether Timbuktu Pro will start when you start Windows and enter information for use by the Internet Locator Server.

To change your General options

  1. Choose Preferences from the Setup menu.

  2. Click the General tab.

  3. Specify the Timbuktu Pro Computer Name. The name of your computer identifies your computer to other Timbuktu Pro computers. It does not need to be the same as your Windows networking computer name.

  4. Select the Start Timbuktu Pro as a Service option if you want the Timbuktu Pro application to be started as a service. See Launching Timbuktu Pro as a Service.

    By default, Timbuktu Pro is started as a service, which makes it available at the network logon prompt.

  5. Select Internet Locator Enabled and enter your email address if you want to use the Internet Locator service on your computer. For information about the Internet Locator server, see Using the Internet Locator Server.

  6. Click OK to save your changes and close the Preferences dialog box.
