Welcome screen? Photoshop?
Bob
I think that went out with CS2.
Well, in the Classroom in a Book: The Official Training Workbook from Adobe Systems it states to "restore default preferences" at the beginning of each lesson which is to hold down the Crtl+Alt+Shift (Windows) after starting Photoshop. When prompted, click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File, and then click Close to close the Welcome Screen.
Since I am learning multiple programs quickly and Photoshop was the first, I remembered that after a couple of times having to close the Welcome Screen it seemed a little annoying. But since I decided to leave it up for Illustrator and InDesign I kind of like having it.
So I thought I’d reinstated it for Photoshop and even in my CIB (Classroom in a Book) I just cannot find the way to do it. In Illustrator CS3 there is a way list in the help to do it. I’d just like to do for Photoshop CS3.
There is no welcome screen in Photoshop CS3.

I hope I don’t sound condescending… I just want to understand the issue, so maybe I can help…. but do you mean Photoshop CS2 or CS, perhaps?
My 2nd thought was that you were trying to open CS3’s splash screen after Photoshp was loaded; but that has no "Don’t show again" prompt, so that can’t be it…
Last thought: do you have *both* Photoshop CS3 and CS2 (or CS) installed? It’s the only thing I can think of that may be causing confusion, as I have personally mixed up options / features between them when I had them all installed. (Until recently, I had all versions of Photoshop from 7 to CS3 Extended installed at the same time!) 😛
Don’t ask me why. I am a digital packrat. :p
Don’t worry about having a "blonde moment" with the magic of photoshop you can always change your hair color to brown…Heh heh sorry couldn’t resist. The other posts answered your question.
I’m having the same problem as Aspen. I had a welcome screen when I first installed Photoshop CS3 and I clicked the "do not show again" box. I would like that screen back, as it’s needed for the "Classroom In A Book" lessons. I have tried all of the resets, the help menus and the forums and I got nothing. Anyone else have any other ideas?
Did you read all the previous posts?
I remember from one of Nack’s blog posts that the welcome screen was dropped in Photoshop CS3 in the rush to meet the release deadline. It was supposed to contain some fancy new Flash stuff, but they didn’t have time.
Illustrator and InDesign CS3 has it, though.
-John- Yes, I read all of the previous posts, including the ones that say that Photoshop CS3 does not have a welcome screen. I have run across conflicting information all over, with no two sites agreeing on whether Photoshop CS3 does or does not have a welcome screen. I was hoping that someone here would have found something different and/or conclusive since those last posts….
-Freeagent- Thanks =D
No welcome screen. I just reinstalled couple of days ago.
PSCS4 does not have a welcome screen, but AI, ID & DW all do.
