I have _SCREEN=OFF in a CONFIG.FPW file in the root dir of the application. No dice. Screen shows. So, I put _SCREEN.Hide() in the MAIN.PRG of the app. This works but focus doesn't go to my top-level launcher screen so if the user hits Enter, a desktop app launches (the desktop appears to have focus).

Hiya Gonz,

Markus, of course, is right about removing the underscore in the config file.

Telling you that isn't, however, the purpose of this post. I made that mistake so often, that I finally wrote a generic routine to create the config file in a post setup executable based on information stored in a table. This also has the advantage of being able to ask the user if they want to put a short cut on their desktop or start menu (as opposed to just the program group).

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you weren't alone.
