OrCAD Capture 17.2 Start Screen

MrSpock

I'm looking for the way to disable the OrCAD schematic start screen.  In version 16.5 there used to be a way to do it by editing some extended preferences.  However that part of the menu system changed in version 17.  How do we do we disable the start screen now?  I did a search in help on "extended preferences" and got nothing.

Old method (V16.x):

1. Open any design in Capture.
2. From the Menu bar, select "Accessories \ Cadence Tcl/Tk Utilities \ Utilities".
3. In the "Tcl/Tk Applications Dashboard", select 'Extended Preferences' and press the Launch button.
4. In the column 'Settings', uncheck "Load web page on startup" and then the 'OK' button at the bottom.

Thanks.
