I had to reconnect Outlook Express to my ISP and, as usual, it came back with its welcome screen, which really annoys me! I want to go straight to the Inbox but it won't let me! I have and unchecked all the appropriate boxes but nothing works. Please help before I lose my mind!! Thank you.:(

(1) Open your registry ( start > run "regedit" )

(2) Navigate to the key : HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Outlook Express

and create a new value called 'NoSplash' in the key .

(3) Change the value to equal '1' to disable the splash screen or '0' to enable it.

(4) Exit the registry and restart Outlook Express.

Thank you but I do not touch Regedit and don't know anyone who would!! I wouldn't even know how to do what you are suggesting!

I do not blame you at all for not wanting to play with registry, unfortunately I have found several sources for this and all involve the above registry change.

Sometimes there is a batch file that will do the registry change for you, but unable to find such a tweak for that specific option.

Apparently I have recently given you feedback and now the powers that be won't let me do it again! Sorry!
