Prompt Options

 

From the Prompts page in the Options dialog, specify which questions you would like Remind-Me to ask during program operation.  This page offers the following choices:

 

Ask for Confirmation Before Deleting an Event

If this option is checked, Remind-Me will ask if you are sure you want to delete an event prior to actually deleting it, whenever you choose the delete command

Delete Recurring Prompt Defaults to "All Occurrences"

This option controls the initial selection in the prompt shown when deleting a recurring event.  When checked the "All Occurrences" choice will be the initial default.  When un-checked the single occurrence will be the initial default.

Ask to Record Sound Clip Before Sending E-mail

If this option is checked, Remind-Me will ask if you would like to record and then attach an audio recording to your e-mail.  This question is asked when Remind-Me is composing e-mail for a due event.  This option is ignored, and the question will not be asked, when Remind-Me is composing an e-mail without the "Prompt Before Sending" option enabled.  For more information, see sending e-mail.

Ask for Confirmation Before Exiting

If this option is checked, Remind-Me will ask if you are sure you want to quit Remind-Me when you select the "Exit" command. (When you quit Remind-Me you will not be notified of any due events. To hide Remind-Me, but keep it running in the background use "Hide to Tray" instead.)

Due Events Default to Acknowledged

This option controls the initial state of the check box in the alarm dialog next to events that have arrived or are past due. If this option is checked these events will have the check box checked. When dismissing the alarm dialog, events that are checked will be "acknowledged".  See acknowledging events.

Auto Acknowledge Events With No Alarms

For events that do not have either a startup or timed alarm enabled, this option will automatically acknowledge these events up through the day before the current date (yesterday).  Even though these events have no alarms set, acknowledged events can be displayed in a different color on the calendar views.  See acknowledging events.

Always Force Alarm Window to Foreground

If this option is checked, Remind-Me will always bring the alarm dialog to the foreground.  If this option is not checked Remind-Me follows the user interface settings in Windows.  That is, if you are currently working in another application, the alarm dialog may not interrupt your current work, and will not pop to the foreground.

End Time Auto-Adjusts When Modifying Start Time

When editing the starting time of an event this option controls whether or not Remind-Me automatically adjusts the ending time.  When this option is on, the duration of the event is held constant when you modify the start time, and the end time will automatically be adjusted.  When this option is on, you can still edit the ending time directly.  Leave this option off to not have Remind-Me make any automatic changes for you.

Word Wrap Comments

Event comment lines longer than the width of the window will automatically wrap to the next line.  When using this option you will not need to scroll left or right to see the entire note.  This option also controls whether comments are word wrapped when printing event details.

Default Snooze Time

Choose the initial value for snooze time in the alarm dialog.  This is the value for snooze time that will be selected by default when the alarm dialog is shown.  You can either select a specific default time, or "<Last Snooze Time>".  When selecting "<Last Snooze Time>" whatever value you last used when snoozing will be the default next time.  This can be any of the default times or a time value that you type in manually.
