I assume that here you're talking about the open script and not setting to multi-user.
And yes, there is a script you can mess with that requires no user intervention. Use
master password, check Edit>Preferences>Document (for the Names file), and you'll see
a script specified to run on startup. Go into scriptmaker and open that script.
You'll see a bunch of Open File steps. Add or delete or change to your heart's
content. It will happen for each user automatically, because Names is opened by
Ebase.102, and that script is immediately run.

I'm not sure if this is possible. Setting Error Capture on and then screening for
that error might disable the Find File dialog box, but I'm not sure about that. Never
tested it myself. Anyone else know? If you try it, please let me know the results.
