[a0d389d] | 377 | search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a preference
|
---|
| 378 | can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value
|
---|
| 379 | (True/False), simply double-click on the preference to toggle the value
|
---|
| 380 | and two, for other preferences simply right-click on the desired line,
|
---|
| 381 | choose <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value. Creating

| 382 | new preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose
|
