>    will result in:

>    Note: at minimum, you must leave a space or a character between each variable, as two consecutive variables will not be properly parsed.

#### Defaults

> The Defaults tab allows you to select the options that are set by default when creating new reminders.

This option can be temporarily overrode when viewing reminders via the Show/Hide Completed Items option in the List window's context menu.

#### Lists

#### Network

> The Network tab allows you to set up your networking options.
> View for details see: Sharing reminders with other computers via the network.

#### Categories

> Categories are used to classify events or todo's so they can be selected by just a 'key' word. This makes it easy to search or filter the Reminderfox lists.
> The setup of the 'Categories' are done with Options and the tab "Categories".

> There are two different groups, the 'Standard Categories' and the 'Other Categories':
> 1. Standard Categories - these are the frequently used: with editing events or todo's these are offered for the textbox 'Categories' directly with a menu button.
>    With the "Options" dialog 'standard categories' can be processed using [Add], [Edit] and [Delete] or they can de sorted.
> 2. 'Other Categories' are those which are stored with the events and todo's but are not defined as 'standard categories'. The advantage here is during the edit process of an event / todo a category can be selected from a list reducing typo errors with getting erroneous duplicates.
>    In the 'Options' tab 'Categories' the menu button [Other Categories] opens another dialog. That dialog offers to move a certain category item over to the 'standard categories'. This allows easily to get a very individual standard list.
