# Start Options

Depence can also be started with command-line arguments. Using these commands, you can enable or disable different options.

**`Depence.exe -No3D`**\
Prevents Depence from starting with the 3D engine. This might be necessary if Depence is used only as a control on a non-graphics-capable laptop.

**`Depence.exe "C:\DepenceProjects\MyProject\MyProject.depence"`**\
Starts Depence and automatically loads the project file specified in quotes.

**`Depence.exe -FullScreen 0`**\
(Only in combination with loading a project directly) Opens the fullscreen view on the specified monitor (0, 1, 2, n), with 0 being the main monitor where Depence starts.

{% hint style="info" %}
ll command-line arguments can or must be used in combination.
{% endhint %}

### Example:

#### `Depence.exe "C:\DepenceProjects\MyProject\MyProject.depence" -FullScreen 0` Opens the project and displays it in fullscreen on the main monitor.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.depence.com/depence-getting-started/depence-installation/start-options.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
