Close all projects. Now open the project-option dialog and configure which packages you want to be loaded. Since there is no project open, the settings you create will be applied to all new projects as the default settings. (You can do this while a project is loaded by clicking the "default" check box on the dialog, but that check box also applies to the version information, and you probably don't want all your new projects to start out with the same name and version.) If there are packages that you never use, go ahead and remove them from the package list altogether. If you later decide you want to try some of those components anyway, you can always re-add the packages. If you have multiple projects in a project group, then the packages loaded will be the ones specified for the last project in the group. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
