I have Delphi 2010. How do I skip the welcome page on startup and/or create a new project like Delphi 7?

Thanks

Remove the package startpageide150.bpl from the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\8.0\Known IDE Packages, and you will not get a welcome page.

But you will still need to click File -> New -> Delphi VCL Forms application to create a new application each time the IDE starts up.

Because there is more than one type of project a user might need to start with, auto-creating one type isn't possible in the IDE any more. Even if you are a delphi-only customer (no C++Builder in RAD Studio IDE), you still might want to open the IDE and open an existing project 99% of your typical working days.
