How can I save the pre-set to the dafault startup pre-set?

PappyVanWinkle

Ok, so I have looked and maybe I'm obtuse, but I can't seem to find the default startup preset and would really like to not have to manually load my preset everytime the program starts. Thanks for any help

AI, which isn't always 100% accurate, offers this.

Thanks, brother, it worked like a charm.

How to Set NCH DeskFX to Load Your Preset Automatically on Startup

To have DeskFX automatically load your preferred preset every time it starts, you need to adjust the program’s startup settings so it remembers your last-used configuration. Here’s how you can do it:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Open DeskFX.
Go to the Options menu.
Find the setting labeled "Restore DeskFX default settings on startup."
Untick (uncheck) this box.
- By default, DeskFX resets to its factory settings at every launch. Unchecking this option ensures that your last-used preset and settings are retained and loaded automatically when the program starts.
  
  Optional:
  If you want DeskFX to launch automatically when Windows starts (so your preset is always applied), also check the box labeled "Start DeskFX automatically when you sign in to Windows" in the same Options menu.

With these settings, DeskFX will start with your chosen preset and effects every time you open it, without the need to manually reload your preset.

If you encounter issues or these options are missing in your version, consult the official [DeskFX support page]
