Starting without start screen

[jürgenm96735035]

I want to start PSE directly with the fotoeditor without the start screen. In former versions i could configure it. How can I configure it in the actual version?

Hi,

You cannot skip the Home Screen in Elements 2019 and 2020 versions with a configuration, as this home screen is not only a launcher for the applications. The Home screen showcases a carousel of cards to help you discover new features, try out exciting features, and explore and personalize Auto Creations. You can also quickly search for Help resources of your desired features.

But you can create desktop shortcut for Editor and other applications, which can be used to directly launch the application instead of launching the home screen first.

Section 'Create desktop shortcuts for the Editor and Organizer' of below link mentions step about how to create desktop shortcuts:

Thanks!

One of the handy features of having shortcuts for the Editor and Organizer on the desktop is that you can drag and drop image files onto them. If you drop one or more image files onto the Editor shortcut, they open for Editing. If you drop one or more image files onto the Organizer shortcut, they will be imported into the Organizer.

Thx for your Info.

I don't use the organizer, I am used to my own organizer since couple of years. I have put a link of PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe to the taskbar anf that is Ok for me.

Hope you understand my poor English
