## Starting Understand for Java

When you install Understand for Java on Windows, commands to launch the software are added to your Start menu. By default, these are in the Understand folder.

For information on controlling Understand for Java from other applications such as editors, compiler environments, and debuggers see Server Mode: Controlling from Other Programs. For information on running Understand for Java from the command line, see Command Line Processing.

If multiple users will run Understand for Java from the same Windows machine, each user may have a separate initialization file. These files store user preferences. Understand for Java looks for the initialization file location in the following sequence:

1. %APPDATA% (local settings and applications)
2. %WINDIR% (typically c:\Windows)
3. %STI_INIDIR%
