Tools>options>general>default notebook

I know this tells Evernote where to save all notes as a default, but does it also double as changing which notebook shows up on the desktop version?  Wondering how to change which notebook shows up when I initially get into Evernote each time?

TIA

This is the Windows Evernote client, right?

No, I believe that the default notebook doesn't serve as the  startup notebook; I think that you always start up in "All Notes". A couple of things you could do:

1. Create a shortcut that selects the notebook you want to start with, and give it a name that makes it appear at the top of your shortcuts list so that it's always handy, and just click on it when you start up Evernote.

2. There is a way to start up Evernote via a search query, and in your case, you'd be doing a search on your favorite notebook. Evernote for Windows ships with a companion program, ENScript.exe that allows you to perform certain Evernote actions on the command line. One of them is to execute a search. So what you can do is this:

• Locate the Evernote program folder; by default it's "C:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote\Evernote"
• In that folder, you should find a program called "ENScript.exe"
• Right-click on that, and select Send To / Desktop (create shortcut).
• You should have a new shortcut on your desktop names "ENScript.exe - Shortcut"
• Right click on that, and select Properties.
• In the Properties dialog, click in the Target: edit box; you should see the string "C:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote\Evernote\ENScript.exe" or similar
• Go to the end of the string and add a space character after the final double quote (").
• Assuming that the name of your notebook is "MyNotebook", add the following string after the space character you just typed:  shownotes /q notebook:MyNotebook
• Click on OK. Now if you click on that shortcut, you should go to that notebook, even if Evernote isn't running

Windows, yep.  Appreciate the feedback.

Select the notebook you want to show up initially.  Then do a File - Exit.  From then on whenever you start EN it will open to that notebook.  Unless you do a File - Exit when some other notebook is the current context.
