How to remove or replace PhotoShop garish image of a woman on splash screen?

[delighter]

I just updated to Photoshop 19.1.3 and hate the garish, graphic of a harshly colorful, seemingly disturbed woman on the splash screen. Is there anyway to replace that image with plain text or some alternative image? If you don't know the answer, do you know how I could approach Photoshop and recommend the image be changed on a new update? Many thanks. I know some people may like the image, but I do not need that kind of image staring me in the face everytime I open Photoshop.

Hi

If you don't want to see the splash screen just add this to the Photoshop.exe shortcut

-NoSplash

I cannot figure out where I am supposed to click on "correct." Maybe

that is not necessary.

What do you think?

I don't see a correct answer button. See the attached screen shot.

Don't reply by mail! Use the web interface.

Mail attachments don't come through. You have to insert the screenshot in the web interface.

Ged, which .exe shortcut is this? I tried it from the start menu and from the taskbar, both of which just throw a "not valid"-message. Do you go directly to the Program Files icon?

EDIT: Oh, I get it - there's a space first! It works! Yaiii, what a relief...why haven't I done this before?
