Not a fan of splash screens. Is there a way to prevent the splash screen in Framemaker 10 from displaying? Older versions enabled you to deselect the option in preferences. Framemaker 9 did not, seems Framemaker 10 does not either.

If there is no "DontShowWelcomeScreen=off" line in the maker.ini file, you can just add "DontShowWelcomeScreen=on" in the [Preferences] section, as shown in the example below:

[Preferences]

;--------------------------- Misc preferences ------------------------------

; The period MUST be used for specifying the decimal point.

DontShowWelcomeScreen=on

AskExit=Off

ShowErrors=On

I believe this will do it. In maker.ini, in the section,

add this line:

DontShowWelcomeScreen=On

I don't think OYSTAR-NA had a problem with the splash screen, even though he/she called it that way. I think he/she meant the welcome screen.

Kind regards

Hi ,

If you even turn off the Splash Screen, it would still load the application, Fonts, localization Settings and Plug ins, But still if that is what you would like to remove, I would advise you to rename (do not delete), following file located at --

C:\Program Files\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker10\fminit

rename -- "DWS" to DWS Old, Close FrameMaker Before renaming, the folder.

Good Luck!

Thanks,

In your maker.ini file, change

DontShowWelcomeScreen=off

to

DontShowWelcomeScreen=on
