Load this profile when Dragon starts

This option applies only if you have more than one user profile. If you have a single user profile, Dragon loads your user profile automatically each time it starts.

If selected, the user profile you select in the list becomes your default user profile. Dragon loads this user profile each time it starts. If you also selected the Launch Dragon when Windows starts option on the Options dialog box—Miscellaneous page, you should select a default user profile that opens when Dragon opens.

If deselected, Dragon prompts you to select a user profile when it starts.

Default value: Deselected
