Ericsson MC 218 - Customizing the Desktop

201 Customizing the MC 218
To set a password on a file:
1. While you are in the file, select Password on the File menu.
2. Type your password twice for confirmation.
3. Press OK, and the file is saved immediately with the password.
When you want to open the file, you are asked to type in the password.
Tip! The password for an individual file will protect it if you transfer it to a
Memory disk or another machine. If you copy the file, the copy is protected by
the same password. The password also prevents the file from being converted
to another format on a PC.
Note! If you have forgotten the password for a file, you will not be able to
open it.
You can use the commands on the View menu to change how the Desktop
screen looks and works:
• change the position of the Title by selecting Title position, and the
width of the columns by selecting Column width.
• use Zoom in and Zoom out to change the size of text and icons on
screen so that more or fewer files and folders are displayed.
• turn the toolbar off and on with Show toolbar; without the toolbar you
can see more of the Desktop screen.
• control how the files are sorted, and what file information is displayed
with Sort files and Show file details.
You can customize many of the ways that the MC 218 works in the Desktop
by using Preferences and the icons in the Control panel. For example, you
might want to change the automatic switch off setting, owner information, the
standard printer and print preview settings, and set up a password to protect
your files from prying eyes.
Extras bar
You can customize the positions of icons on the Extras bar, e.g. so that the
icons for your favourite programs appear in particular positions. To display a
dialog where you can set this, press Enter when the Extras bar is displayed, or
tap the word Extras on the left of the Extras bar.
Hidden files and folders
You can choose to display hidden files or the System folder in your MC 218.
To display hidden files or the System folder:
1. Go to the Desktop screen.
2. On the Tools menu, select Preferences.
3. Tick the boxes of your choice.
Here you can also change the standard folder for files and the key combination
for opening multiple files.
Warning! The System folder contains files that are used by the MC 218
programs themselves. You should not normally need to access these files, that
is why this folder is not shown as standard. Do not delete or modify files in
