I'm not sure when mine happened. as I've only been using Quicken for 1-2 weeks. In my case it might have happened during the initial signup, rather than every online session. The other thing I was thinking of trying was adding a read only attribute to the ini file to prevent it from being written, but I have no idea what the impact on Quicken might be. Bruce.

Here's what I found out. The defalt splash file is located in the Quicken program directory and is named splash.png. The default is overridden whenever a FI decides to send you a new splash file. At the same time the FI sends you a new splash.bmp file, the your quicken.ini file is updated with the following. [MarketingMessages] SplashExpired=0 Splash=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application Data \Intuit\Quicken\00823\SPLASH.BMP BID=823 Commenting out the splash.bmp line with ;Splash= just results in a new line being created the next time you update the FI using direct connect. And renaming the splash.bmp file to something like xsplash.bmp just results in a new copy of splash.bmp being downloaded with the next FI update. I was able to fix my system by replacing the FI downloaded splash.bmp file with a copy of splash.png that had been renamed to splash.bmp. Technically this is not a fix, but instead a work around. I spent almost 3 hours in a chat with Quicken Support that when past midnight. I'm working on my obsessive compulsive behavior, but at my age it's not likely that I will succeed.

Why not simply close your eyes for 2 or 3 seconds after you start up Quicken? Seems like a much easier "bypass" to avoid seeing the splash screen. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Regards - - Andrew

Thanks Don. I will try that here. Bruce.
