# Startup Commands

When starting the harness, include `-newDesktop` in the command string to start the harness GUI without using a previous desktop. The harness ignores any previous desktop information and opens the Quick Start wizard.

Note: Some test suites do not implement the optional Quick Start wizard. It won't be available if the test suite architect disabled it.

The harness uses a new desktop when you include GUI options in the command line. Using this option preserves any preferences set for the desktop. Use the following example to start the harness with a new Desktop.

> jtharness `-newDesktop`

See About the Command-Line Examples for a description of the use of > jtharness.

# Restore Tools State

Specify `-resume` to restore the last-saved tools state. Tools settings will be restored, even if the preference Check Restore Tools State on Start was disabled from the user interface.
