    The check box is greyed on some notebooks
    Don’t know why!

      @CoolRaoul:disqus That is odd. You need to figure out what is different about those notebooks. Are they empty? Shared? New? Old?

      Create a few new notebooks and see if you have a problem.

        It seem that only *shared* (synchronized) notebooks can be set as “default”.
        Not possible for local notebooks.
        Don’t understand why
