Welcome to Audacity - GET RID OF MESSAGE

Post by johnnyg5646 » Thu Nov 10, 2011 8:15 pm

I'm trying to push out this software using an MSI in an educational setting. Because it is an educational setting we use software called Deep Freeze to reset each computer to the state it was in prior to being used every time it is restarted.

This causes a problem with the welcome screen. It shows up for every user every time they use it. Is there some kind of config file someplace I can edit to have this message not show up? Thanks!

Audacity 1.3.x uses a configuration file called audacity.cfg
See here for the default location of this file: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audac ... tored.3F_2

To disable the Welcome screen you need to have the lines:

Code: Select all

[GUI]
ShowSplashScreen=0
