2. You can specify the following options:

   Save Settings on Exit	Select this check box to save all configuration settings when you close the Monitor utility. The Monitor utility saves both the settings in this dialog box and the automatic-refresh option in the various dialog boxes.
   Save Window Layout on Exit	Select this check box to save the state (open or closed) and screen location of all open windows. When you start the Monitor utility again, these windows are automatically opened and positioned for local file server monitoring. This enables you to easily reproduce your preferred layout. NOTE: A user connecting to a remote system must first close all windows which are open.
   Refresh Rate (Seconds)	Specifies the time interval with which the Monitor utility's display refreshes itself. The refresh rate is measured in seconds. The default setting is 4. You can enter integer numbers only. It is important not to set this number too low, or the monitor utility will refresh itself frequently, affecting the performance of your database engine. This is especially true if you are running the Monitor utility local to your engine.

3. Click OK to save the settings or Cancel to close the dialog box without saving changes.
