When I launch Powerpoint, I generally want to open an existing presentation.

PP's default is to open with a blank presentation which I need to close.

Is there a setting to suppress the blank presentation?

KC,

If you open any existing presentation, then the 'blank' presentation will
automatically be gone!

If you are starting from a shortcut? Add SPACE/c to the target address in
properties (after the last ")- thats a space not the word space!

If you are using the START menu you will need to replace the shortcut it
uses with one like this.The shortcut is usually in all users\start
menu\programs

I'm running Vista... the shortcut properties don't seem to allow editing to
allow adding /c to the command line.

In fact... I don't see the command line in Vista's shortcut properties.

Strangely... I was able to create a shortcut to PowerPoint and add /c after
the last quote.

Works great.

Thanks,

KC
