Enable FileMaker Splash screen?

#1

Is there a way to re-enable filemaker 11 splashscreen, after I disabled
it on Mac OS X, without deleting the prference file?

backup your preference file
delete everything and re-install
put the prefs back

But then again, filemaker doesn't have that much prefs so you also could go
ahaead with just a clean install.

OK, but I'm wondering that's not another way...

Why would you want the splash screen back again? Any information on it (and
more) is probably more easily accessible from the About option in the
FileMaker menu.

I just hope he really meant splash screen and not quick menu. For windows
splash screen is hardcoded quick menu is an option. But I just thought: lets
only answer his question.

The original message did say Mac OS X. The only "reason" I can think of for
wanting the splash screen or the About window is to try and steal a
registration code, but I don't know if FileMaker even displays it there
(Adobe software only displays part of the code).

Well for OSX he had to tamper with a .plist and a resource to get rid of the
splash screen. So my hope remains he meant the quick menu, otherwise a
re-install is the way to go.

My v10 doesn't display the reg anywhere I could locate.

In General preferences I have only this:

User Interface Options
- Allow drag and dro text selection
- Show recently opened files: 10
- Use Manage Database dialog to create files
Reset dialog size and positions:
User Name
- System:
- Other
Application
- Notify me when an update is available
- Notify me when a new version is available

Seems the command lacks on Mac OS...
