Portable Mode |
Select this option to run Handy Address Book off a removable drive (like a memory stick) so that you can run the program from any computer. When portable mode is turned on, no changes are made to the host computer. For example, all program options and preferences are stored in the "handyprefs.txt" file located in the same folder as the Handy Address Book executable. When portable mode is off, your preferences are instead stored in the registry. (more info) |

Default vCard Handler |
Displays the current application assigned as your default vCard handler. To make Handy Address Book the default vCard handler, go into Window's Settings, and search for "Choose default apps by file type". Scroll down to .vcf and select Handy Address Book.
When Handy is assigned as the default vCard handler you can easily open any vCard (.vcf) file. If the vCard file you open contains a single address, it will be imported, and automatically opened with the address editor. If the vCard contains multiple addresses they will be imported into the current address book, and all the imported addresses will be selected. |

Default .ABK Handler |
Displays the current application assigned as your default Handy Address Book file (*.ABK) handler. Normally Handy should always be set to be the handler for .ABK files. To make Handy Address Book the default .ABK handler, go into Window's Settings, and search for "Choose default apps by file type". Scroll down to .abk and select Handy Address Book.
When Handy is assigned as the default .ABK handler you can open any *.ABK address book file by double clicking on that file. |
