Oh, sure, it's in there (and so's pretty much everything else). But how do you set up Notes so the Workspace loads as your default screen, just like in the good ol' days?

It turns out the process is very simple and it's something I do almost immediately after I do a new Notes install. Once you've got Notes loaded, click on the database icon, as shown in Figure A.

As soon as you do, the Databases bookmark list will open. Right click on the Workspace icon, as shown in Figure B, and select Set Bookmark as Home Page.

Notes will display the confirmation dialog shown in Figure C.

FIGURE C

Click Yes.

Simply click Yes and your Workspace is now your home page. All you need to do is quit Notes and relaunch, and you'll see your beautiful Workspace, right where it belongs, as shown in Figure D.

That's all there is to it.
