Lock Log window open
(by default)
If selected, the Log window is locked, and must be unlocked before you can close it.
Show Welcome dialog
on startup
If selected, the Welcome dialog, which provides quick access to some common tasks, is shown each time you start the IDE.
Menu button selects in lists If enabled, clicking the right-hand mouse button first selects the list item that the mouse pointer is over, and then pops up the menu for that item.  If disabled, clicking the right-hand mouse button pops up the menu for the last-selected list item, regardless of where the mouse pointer is when you click.
Remember last tree expansion state If enabled, the IDE "remembers" the level to which a tree view was expanded.  Then, when you collapse the tree and expand it again, it returns you to the expansion state you left.
Action on double-clicking
an item in a tree view
Select the action you want when you double-click on a tree item, either a browser opens on the item, or the tree is expanded.
Open and Item in Select New browser if you want to open a new window for each program element browser (the traditional VisualAge for Java browsing style).   Select Current browser if you want to open each browser in the current window and use the forward and back toolbar buttons to navigate (similar to Internet browser behavior).

If you want to restore default settings, click Defaults.   If you want to apply changes without exiting the window, click Apply.
