The original splash is internal to the program so there is no bmp. As installed from Intuit the line reads:

Splash So no filename triggers the default. Try commenting out the line this way. I hadn't noticed my spash screen had change from Chase Bank until I read your message and checked.

;Splash That seems to be working here. I have done an online session with Chase and the line is still commented out.

Oh well. I'll be interested to hear what they say then. Mine may get overwritten again. I'm not sure when mine happened. as I've only been using Quicken for 1-2 weeks. In my case it might have happened during the initial signup, rather than every online session.

The other thing I was thinking of trying was adding a read only attribute to the ini file to prevent it from being written, but I have no idea what the impact on Quicken might be.

Bruce.

Thanks Don. I will try that here.

BTW, the complete list of BMP files that are downloaded from Chase (all bearing the Chase logo):

BIGLOGO.BMP COLLPLAN.BMP INFIMG01.BMP INVSPLAN.BMP LOANPLAN.BMP OCBANNER.BMP RECONCIL.BMP REFIPLAN.BMP REGLOGO.BMP RETIPLAN.BMP SPLASH.BMP

The ini only refers to SPLASH.BMP but I'm assuming the other ones get loaded in other places in the program.

I don't think an fi just "decides" to send you a new splash file. I believe that the fi pays Intuit for the priveledge of having their name appear in the Quicken splash screen; and that it is Intuit that implements the downloading of the paid-for splash - though Intuit may get the splash file from the financial institution.

Guess again. My splash screen stays for 15-20 seconds, effectively blocking any other work from being done since a) it can't be moved and b) it stays on top. I'm running Quicken 2006, and frankly, it does everything I need so I don't need an update and the splash screen is a huge annoyance. I want it GONE!
