How to uncheck the option "Show Getting Started Dialog"?

[SanajyJadhav]

Hi,

I want to uncheck the "Show Getting Started Dialog" chekcbox ( screen shot is attached here ).So that Getting Started Dialog box does not appear when the ArcMap starts.

For this my guess is, I have to use IStartupDialogSettings interface.If this is the case, I am not getting how to use this interface.So, any help is appreciated on this.

Thanks in advance.

The checkbox sets the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ESRI\Desktop10.2\ArcMap\Settings\GettingStarted\ShowStartup

Your easiest option is to manipulate that value.

Thanks Sean,

It worked. Appreciate your help.

Below is my code.

                string keyPath = @"Software\ESRI\Desktop10.2\ArcMap\Settings\GettingStarted";
                keyForGettingStartedDialog = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(keyPath, true);          
                keyForGettingStartedDialog.SetValue("ShowStartup", "0");
