Opening a Lister

There are many different ways to open a Lister (or Listers), including:

• When you start Opus from the desktop icon, or the icon on the Windows 7 taskbar, a Lister will open
• If Explorer Replacement mode is enabled, double-clicking a folder on the desktop, or pressing the Windows+E hotkey (even when Opus isn't running)
• If enabled in Preferences, you can double-click on an empty spot on the desktop (even when Opus isn't running)
• If enabled in Preferences, you can double-click on the system tray icon that Opus adds when it's running
• You can set Opus to run on startup and automatically show a Lister when it does
• You can load a saved Lister Layout from the desktop context menu or the Settings menu in an existing Lister
• You can use one of the internal commands (like Go NEW) to open a Lister from a button or a hotkey (Windows+Shift+E is assigned by default)

How you open your Listers really depends on you, and on how you want to work with Opus. You can configure Opus to always open a Lister when it starts up, keeping one open all the time - or to only open one when you need it. You can work with as many or as few Listers open at once as you like.
