Disable project autosave to home page for Premiere Elements 2021 or 2022?

I do not like the home page for the latest models of Premiere Elements for a Windows 10 PC.   So much so,  I don't use my PE 2020 but PE 14 instead.   I'd upgrade to PE 2021 or 2022 if there is a way to turn off the saving of projects to the home page.    Thanks for any info.

I don't know of any way to keep recent projects from showing up on the Welcome Screen.

Bummer.    I have a devil of a time deleting the projects from the home page when I'm done with them and try to remove all associated clips.   When I attempt to delete a film clip, the program indicates I can't because of the saved project on the home page.   Quite annoying.    I have yet to find a way to remove the project file directly from the home page.

The default shortcut is this:   "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 2022\Elements Home\Adobe Premiere Elements 2022.exe" . 

 

I gets you a different screen like this:  


Bill, I did set up a link to the editor .exe file and for some reason, the welcome page was still hiding in the background and my projects were sent as a copy there.   I'm using 2020 but I'll go ahead and try again to create a shortcut directly to the editor page using the instructions you noted.

 

Thanks!
