Preset Tabs in Evergreen Client

To have preset tabs waiting when Evergreen opens you will need to modify the Evergreen shortcut on your desktop.

  1. First, you need to copy your shortcut. There are a couple of ways to do this.

    1. Right-mouse click and drag icon; upon release select Create Shortcut Here.

  4. Place your cursor after the ending quotation mark. Enter a space after the last quotation mark and then enter the tab code from the list below. Add multiple tabs with a space separating them.
