This Startup dialog box changes, depending on the information GroupWise needs to be able to open your Mailbox, and the GroupWise mode that you log in to.
NOTE:Your system administrator might restrict the GroupWise modes you can log in to.

If you use the same workstation for multiple people, it is highly recommended that each user have a seperate log in for the workstation. When GroupWise saves the display settings for a user they are saved to the current user's registry. This allows GroupWise to display the settings for the user that is currently logged in to the workstation. This allows you to customize GroupWise the way you want it to look without changing the look for other users.
When a user is done using the workstation, that user should log out of the workstation completely. This allows the next user to log on to the system with their own GroupWise settings.
However, there is special circumstances when having a different log on for each user on the workstation is not a viable option. In these cases there is a step you should perform to setup GroupWise properly.
