I have a new ad from Fidelity on my Quicken Premier logo when I start the Quicken Premier Windows app. I do not appreciate being advertised to on a product that I pay for. How do I revert the logo back to only the Quicken logo? I'm not able to find the BMP or .ini file in my Program Files (x86)>Quicken folder. Thank you.

    I just tried an obvious test - just rename the SPLASH.BMP to something else - so it is NOT found -

    When Quicken starts, it now just brings up a default Q screen - and does it very quickly -

    Hello @Rob,

    Could you please provide a screenshot of what you are seeing? If needed please refer to this Community FAQ for instructions on how to attach a screenshot. Alternatively, you can also drag and drop screenshots to your response if you are not given the option to add attachments.

    Thank you!

    There used to be a Support article on removing a splash screen, but, alas, it has been retired.
    If you want to follow this article (carefully, please), give it a try:

    Thank you UKR and Ps56k2.

    I found the file in C:\ProgramData\Quicken\10482 and renamed it, which seems to have worked. Saved a lot of time compared to looking for the .INI file.

    The Fidelity splash screen is back. It would be nice to opt out of being marketed to.

    I have Quicken Classic. How do I get rid of the Fidelity splash screen?

    My recollection from versions long past is that people set the properties on the 'splash' file (bmp, png, jpg, whatever extension it was) to be read only. Doing so seemed to prevent the FI from changing it to their branded version. The trick always seemed to be finding the right splash to do that to.
