**Note: If an application is ever accidentally deleted from the Hardware Attendant, you can add it back in. (This will be discussed later in the section.)

Hardware Attendant Options

There are several options you can configure within the Hardware Attendant. To do so, the Hardware Attendant must be running.

To open and run the Hardware Attendant:

1. Double-click on the APM Hardware Attendant icon on the desktop, or from the desktop right-click the APM Hardware Attendant icon (located within the system tray on the bottom-right side of the screen) and select "Show Hardware Attendant" from the menu
2. Click on the Options button within the Hardware Attendant.

By default, the Hardware Attendant is setup to do the following:

1. Start when the computer starts up
2. Run minimized
3. Shutdown all applications it is controlling when the Hardware Attendant itself shuts down.

Remove the check from the appropriate checkbox to disable these settings. These settings are recommended by technical support, so you should typically not change these settings.

If you want the APM kiosk to turn off at a certain time every day, check the "Enable Auto-Shutdown" box, and then set the time in the "Initiate system shutdown at:" field. If you want to restart at that time instead of shutting down, check the appropriate checkbox.

**Note: The date, time, and time zone must be set correctly in Windows in order for this to function properly.
