Opening a Bible without guides

Hi all--I am in the habit of closing all windows when I shut down, and when I open Logos it is set to open to a blank screen.

When I type a Bible verse in the GO box, it opens my preferred Bible but also several other things that I do not necessarily need--passage guide, HDNT, LGNTI, and ZECNT.

I know where to find these resources when I need them, but I don't want them to automatically open.

Is there a way to stop this action?

Thanks.

    Starting with a Blank Layout, entered a Bible Verse in Go Box:

    Passage Study Layout is a QuickStart Layout with Passage Guide, Three Bibles & One Commentary (in link set A), and Information.

    Suggest modifying layout as desired followed by Replacing QuickStart Layout

    When mouse hovers over a QuickStart Layout, a button appears that be be clicked, which allows layout to be Loaded, Replaced or Restored.

    Keep Smiling [:)]

    What KS4J showed you and what you're experiencing is opening to a layout. The point is that the Go Box menu is dynamic, it will remember what you selected from the options and put that on top and make it the default: 

     

    this means, if you don't hit enter after the bible verse (and thus confirm you want the layout - see red arrow) but let the menu populate and select the lookup, and if you do this say three or five times, the lookup will become the top and default option (see green arrow). 

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    It is the Home Page layout that is opened from the GO Box as "Passage Study"

    Thank you all for your help! I think I've got it figured out now.
