How to remove the "Finding your way around NX" startup information?

How to remove the "Finding your way around NX" startup information?

(OP)
I know it asks you if you want to remove the "Finding your way around NX" after 30 or so open sessions of NX. But I recently installed it on another computer an I was so used to the blueish background.

It's a stupid question, and probably after some time it will go away, but is there a way to do it before the 30 or so sessions?

Thanks!

Alex,

One approach is to change the Windows registry using the NX command window with the following single-line command:

CODE -->

reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Unigraphics Solutions\NX\8.5\Layout" /v "WelcomePageUserResponse" /t reg_dword /d 1 /y 

This example is for NX 8.5, change the 8.5 accordingly if you are using a different NX Major.Minor version. E.g. 7.5

Hope this is helpful,

Joe

Thanks Joe. The single-line command didn't work exactly. It says there was some syntax error, so instead of finding the error I changed the DWORD value manually on the registry and it worked like a charm!

Alex,

Thanks for the feedback. It should have been /f not /y

CODE -->

reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Unigraphics Solutions\NX\8.5\Layout" /v "WelcomePageUserResponse" /t reg_dword /d 1 /f

Another way is go to your Customer Defaults in NX (File --> Utilities --> Customer Defaults), and under "Gateway" click on "User Interface" and scroll down until you see "Welcome Page Duration" and you can change it from 30 to 0 or 1 and then it will go away.
