Are you missing the "Set Bookmark as Home Page" option to set any bookmark or application as your Home page?

It's still there, you just need to use the full page bookmarks to find it:


When you open the Workspace while holding down the Shift key, you get the full page bookmarks, and can right click on any of the bookmarks and choose "Set Bookmark as Home Page".

You can open the Workspace by setting it either as the "Home" link in the Open menu, or making a Toolbar Icon with the formula: @Command([WindowWorkspace]). Shift-Clicking the "Home" link or the toolbar icon opens the full page bookmarks. Also, when your Notes starts with the Workspace you can Shift-click on your Notes icon on the windows desktop to start Notes with the full page bookmarks.

Don't move the bookmarks in the full page mode with your mouse though, as it will crash Notes, and I have reported this as Bug to IBM already.
