Selecting the option labelled 'Start Hottnotes on Windows Start', it is possible to automatically launch the program with Windows. Of course, this assumes the USB memory key containing the program is always attached to the computer: if not, an error message may appear when starting Windows. Move to the Appearance tab and various options for customising the program will appear - changing the date style to the UK format is likely to be of interest here, for example. Move to the 'Hot keys' tab and you can define two keyboard shortcuts to quickly launch a new note and bring notes to the front of other windows so they are visible.
