MT4 opens four H4 charts at startup

Hi. I am testing a few demo accounts at different brokers and some of them opens four H4 charts automatically when starting MT4.
Even if I close them and only open the chart I want EURUSD M30, the four H4 charts always fire up when i start MT4.

Is there a way to get rid of theese autostart H4 charts?

MT starts up with the current Profile(or the one that was being used prior to last shut down-providing you did not crash before restart)

Think of Profiles as work spaces that you can save and then select different ones depending on what you are doing.

Save the charts you want as a New Profile, from the File menu under Profiles.
You can also delete any you don't want.

Thanks :-)
It is a new clean install and those charts was there from the beginning. I will play with the profiles then later tonight. Do you know the name of the default profile?

That would be "Default"

Two ways:-

1) Close all your charts prior to closing MT4 - then close MT4 and reopen - you will get a blank screen ie no charts as MT4 will look for 'lastprofile.ini'

2) Close Mt4 - Goto 'profiles' folder and delete 'Default' and 'lastprofile.ini' - restart
