Still on the toolbar Home, under the Task Bar, select Customise.

3. When the Toolbox is displaying you can also resize, move or delete the individual display windows.

To close a window click the cross button on the top right of the window.
4. To exit the Customise homepage mode, click the cross button at the top right of the Toolbox.
5. Under Tasks on the Task Bar click 
. In the Edit Homepages window, change the name of the view to something more meaningful to you, for example: Accounts Production.
5. Tick or untick the Display boxes (second column on the screen above) for which views to display when you select the option
