Opening and creating a Welcome Page
The Welcome Page is the first item that appears if you do not have a database view set to open when you first launch Notes. Notes has a default Welcome Page that gives you a central location from which to access your Mail, Calendar, Personal Address Book, To Do list, Personal Journal, and Search. You can also create your own Welcome Page that brings together information that is important to you from Notes and the Web.

Note If you choose to display your file system on your Welcome Page, you must use Notes with Internet Explorer as your default Web browser so your file system displays correctly on the Welcome Page. See Changing Web browsers for information on setting your Web browser in Notes.
