The **Load/Save** options control how all documents are handled in the IDE. Documents are listed in the **Start Page** //Source Files// link, and in the **File > Recent Files** IDE menu item.

As you create a new document, the path is specified as you save the document for the first time.

**Load user-specific settings with the document**

When this option is active, your user-defined settings, stored in the Documents and Settings Application Data section, will be applied. If this setting is off, the IDE's internal defaults are used.

**Detect external changes to files**

This option displays a dialog to reload a document when changes have been detected from an external source (i.e., an external editor).

**Auto-load changes if saved**

Specify to reload a document if changes in the document have been detected.

**Always create backup copy**

Check this option to automatically create a backup copy of all documents.

**Line terminator style**

Select the line terminator style of documents that you save. The //Windows// line terminator character is CR + LF, //MacIntosh// style uses just CR, and //Unix// style uses a plain LF only.

**Maximum number of items to display in Recent File**

Use the spin box to set how many files to list in the **Recent Files** menu section and in the **Start Page** //Source Files// link.
