Change NetInfoManager preferences
¬
Want to confirm all your changes before NetInfoManager makes them? Want to choose which domain window opens when you start up? Want to change the domain browser? The domain Inspector? Use NetInfoManager's preferences. 

Here's how:

¬
1	Log in to any computer on the network. 
¬
2	Double-click NetInfoManager in /NextAdmin.
¬
3	Choose Info ¬ Preferences from the NetInfoManager menu.
	The Preferences window opens ;../Reference/Tools/NetInfoManager/NetInfoManagerPanels/PreferencesPanel.rtfd;;¬.  
¬
4	For user type, click Network.
¬
5	Click an option for confirming modifications.
	If you click Always, NetInfoManager alerts you each time you change the structure or content of the network. You can then confirm the change.

	If you click Never, NetInfoManager doesn't check any of your changes. 

	CAUTION  A small mistake can have a widespread impact in a network. If you choose Never, work carefully and check your own changes as you go. 
¬
6	Choose the domain window you want to open when you start NetInfoManager.
	To specify a domain other than the local domain, click Domain and then click Set to display the Select NetInfo Domain panel ;../Reference/Tools/NetInfoManager/NetInfoManagerPanels/SelectNIDomainPanel.rtfd;;¬. You can then select the domain you want to display and click OK.
¬
7	Select an option for displaying the directories in the domain browser.
	The domain browser normally lists directories by their name value. You can choose to show the directory ID numbers, too.

	You can also choose to show the directories without showing that they have subdirectories. 
¬
8	Choose the type of window you want for inspecting directories from the Inspector pull-down list.
	When you inspect directories, you can use a browser or a table. 
¬
9	Click Set at the bottom of the Preferences panel.
¬

The new preferences take effect the next time you open a domain window or inspect a directoryÐor when you restart NetInfoManager.
