Default HMI windows to open when a project is loaded

Whenever a project is loaded from ICE, several HMI windows can be opened. Some of these windows can also be minimized. The last loaded window is the topmost window and should be your navigation menu for your users. This configuration must be done in MDraw.

	Close all the HMI windows, that you have opened in MDraw. Select the Wizard, save startup pictures menu.
	Click the Browse button to open HMI windows.
	Select the files to open. To select multiple files hold down the CTRL key, while clicking once on the files you want to open. Then click the Open button
	The HMI windows is now opened. It is important that you do not continue the wizard at this point. You can move the wizard window away to get a better view. Now, minimize the windows that you want minimized at startup. Here, two of the three windows is already minimized. Click Next on the wizard.
	Click Finish to complete the wizard.
	Now we have to make sure that the HMI window with our menu buttons is loaded last so it is displayed as the topmost window. For that we have to edit the project. Select File - Project - Edit
	Select the Pictures tab. From here the load order can be arranged, so our HMI window with the menu buttons is loaded last. Close with the OK button and remember to save the project. When you start ICE, these are the windows, that will be opened.
