How do i change the automatic startup file?

[NEOband]

Hi

First of all Hello, Im new to the site and im a reborn Amiga user from the past. My 1200 has been sitting in the attic for 10 years aand I've recently installed a HDD and an 8MB memory expansion board.

I installed Workbench 3.1 to the HDD and all was well. The I made themistake of installing a game and placing it directly on DH0:  .  Now when i start the amiga it loads the game automatically and doesn't go straight to the work bench.

I tried removing the directory of the game on DH0: and now i just get an error as it cant find the files it needs to load the game. I can get to the workbench screen by booting off my Workbench floppy, so what do i need to edit to stop the amiga from calling upon the game file?

Thankyou.

Thankyou all for your input. I'm still getting my head around the way workbench works in comparison to windows. It looks like alot of files need an application to open them . ie. how do i open the startup file to edit it without a text viewer? Is their a default text viewer in W.B.

And can you recommend a list of basic apps i should install for the most everyday used applications to open the most common file  extentsions.

thanks again
