Those steps didn't work and I think it's because "This command [WSAVE ALL] saves the global settings, such as window color and window position, that are in effect for all windows that are currently open."

Not sure where to put this question, but is there any way to have SAS not open the explorer and results windows by default? I always close them immediately. Thanks!</P> Wed, 07 Jul 2021 22:54:46 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/Is-there-a-way-for-SAS-to-not-open-the-explorer-results-windows/m-p/752745#M29798 kpberger 2021-07-07T22:54:46Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/Is-there-a-way-for-SAS-to-not-open-the-explorer-results-windows/m-p/752748#M29801 Yes, what type of software do you have, EG, Studio, Base?<BR /><BR />There's an option in preferences to display results as generated as well ODS options to supress results as needed.<BR /><BR /> Wed, 07 Jul 2021 23:01:43 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/Is-there-a-way-for-SAS-to-not-open-the-explorer-results-windows/m-p/752748#M29801 Reeza 2021-07-07T23:01:43Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/Is-there-a-way-for-SAS-to-not-open-the-explorer-results-windows/m-p/752750#M29803 <P>Yes, sorry I am running base SAS 9.4.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I don't want to suppress results as they are reported.
