+===== Part III: Advanced account configuration =====
+==== Make module loading persistent ====
+Upon login, the shell (''bash'' in our case) executes a number of files if they exist. One of them is the ''.bashrc''. To prepare it for management using the the ''module'' command, simply execute the following **once**:
+<code>
+$ echo 'module load ' >> ~/.bashrc
+</code>
+after that you can add and remove modules to be loaded at startup using ''module initadd'' or ''module initrm''. For example:
+<code>
+$ module initadd vmd
+$ module initadd cp2k/r17408_2016_09_19
+</code>
+to remove ''vmd'' from the list of modules to load at login:
+<code>
+$ module initrm vmd
