To change the FDM settings go Options | General settings .

1.The following options are available in the General tab of the dialog box:

·	Load on startup;

·	Start minimized;

·	Minimize to tray;

·	Close button minimizes window;

·	Hide floating windows in full screen mode. Check this option if you want floating windows to be hidden automatically in full screen mode.

2.There are two types of history: downloads history and history of links and folders the user has typed. The History tab deals with the history of links and folders. Here you can specify:

·	Whether FDM should save history of links and folders;

·	Whether FDM should save history of folders only;

·	The number of days for which history should be kept;

·	Maximum number of records.

The Downloads History settings button takes you to the dialog box where you can adjust settings for downloads history.

3. The Skins tab lets you change the current skin. To apply changes, you have to restart the program. You can allow skin to use its own icons or bitmaps, so the program will be using only part of a skin.

4. In the Update tab the update URL is specified.

5. The Miscellaneous tab lets you adjust various parameters, mainly dealing with the Tools menu commands.

·	Timeouts for confirmations - lets you set the period of time during which FDM should wait for your confirmation to execute a certain command, such as to hang up connection, exit the program, shutdown your PC or launch download. You can set the program:

- not to ask for your confirmation;
- wait for the specified time, then execute the command if the user has not answered;
- wait for your confirmation (FDM will not execute the command until you answer).

·	Ask for type of shutdown. If checked, FDM will ask you to choose type of shutdown (Shutdown, Hibernate, Log off, Stand by)

·	Disable Tools | "when done" task after execution. When enabled, any Tools | "when done" task will be automatically disabled after execution (in other words, it will be launched only once).
