+<title>General Settings</title>
+<para>When you close down &konqueror; your current <guimenu>View</guimenu> 
+menu settings (such as the <guimenuitem>View Mode</guimenuitem>, 
+<guimenuitem>Use index.html</guimenuitem> and <guimenuitem>Show Hidden Files
+</guimenuitem> items) are not automatically saved as the default
+options; however, you can have &konqueror; remember these settings by
+selecting <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Save View
+Profile "Web Browsing"...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and the current
+setting will become the default option to be used the next time
+&konqueror; is started.</para>
+
+<para>But you can also specify different <guimenu>View</guimenu> menu settings
+for an individual folder. To do this check the <guimenuitem>View Properties
+Saved in Folder</guimenuitem> box in the <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu,
+change the <guimenu>View</guimenu> settings to whatever you want then uncheck
+the
+<guimenuitem>View Properties saved in Folder</guimenuitem> box. Doing this
+creates a <filename>.directory</filename> file in that folder to hold the
+folder <guimenu>View</guimenu> settings. Use the <menuchoice><guimenu>
+Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Remove Folder Properties</guimenuitem>
+</menuchoice> option to remove the folder specific
+settings (or just delete the <filename>.directory</filename> file).</para>
+<note><para>One nice use of this feature is if you have a folder full of
+pictures. You can set that particular folder to display thumbnails of the
+pictures (by choosing <guimenuitem>Icon View</guimenuitem> and <menuchoice>
+<guisubmenu>Preview</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Show Previews</guimenuitem>
+</menuchoice> from the <guimenu>View</guimenu> menu) when you open it, while 
+not displaying images as thumbnails in other folders.</para></note>

+
+<sect1 id="save-settings-view-profiles">
+<title>View Profiles</title>
+<para>&konqueror; can save a whole set of options as a <quote>View
+Profile</quote>. Some view profiles are part of the standard &konqueror;
+installation, such as <property>Web Browsing</property> and <property>File
+Management</property>, but you can add your own, too.</para>
+
+<para>To modify a view profile (say, the <property>Web Browsing</property>
+profile), load the profile with
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guisubmenu>Load View
+Profile</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Web Browsing</guimenuitem> </menuchoice>, and
+change the &konqueror; settings to whatever you want. Now select
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Save View Profile "Web
+Browsing"...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. In the dialog which appears, you can
+change the name of the profile, which will create a new profile with that name,
+or you can leave the name as it is to modify the current profile. If you select
+<guilabel>Save URLs in profile</guilabel>, the current &URL; will be loaded
+when you load that view profile. This functions in a similar way to the
+<quote>Home Page</quote> in many web browsers. If you want &konqueror; to start
+up with an empty window enter <userinput>about:blank</userinput> into the
+location bar before saving the profile.</para>
+
+<note><para>You can create a desktop icon to start &konqueror; with your new
+profile. First create a desktop icon by dragging the &konqueror; icon from the
+<guimenu>K</guimenu> menu onto the desktop and selecting <guimenuitem>Copy
+Here</guimenuitem>.  Then <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the new
+icon, select
+<guimenuitem>Properties...</guimenuitem> and change <guilabel>Program
+Name</guilabel> in the <guilabel>Execute</guilabel> tab page to
+<userinput><command>kfmclient</command> <option>openProfile
+<replaceable>MyNewProfile</replaceable></option></userinput>,
+<replaceable>MyNewProfile</replaceable> being what you called the new
+profile. Then in the <guilabel>General</guilabel> tab page change the name to
+something like <filename>MyNewProfile</filename> and pick a more
+suitable icon.</para></note>
