Just add -t to your shortcut. e.g. Mine is (don't worry about the drive letters):

"F:\Program Files\microsoft visual foxpro 8\vfp8.exe"  -t -cF:\vfp80\config.fpw

Can you clarify?. Do you mean when in development mode, or when running an executable, where you dont want the white blackboard to appear.

Check this out:

Error Message
"File 'program.prg' does not exist"

The splash screen is removed, though.

If you are using a CONFIG.FPW, make sure that you either provide a full path or set the default path for these statements:

_startup=
command=

I don't use _Startup or Command statements in my VFP 8.0 configuration file!!! In fact I don't use it at all. I've created it only for your solution. This is how it looks:

TALK = OFF
MULTILOCKS = ON
EXCLUSIVE = OFF
SAFETY = OFF

Still the error is constantly there, on my desktop.
Hmmm ...

Make sure you use '"':
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8\vfp8.exe" -t -c

He, he, he ...

This is the shortcut:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8\vfp8.exe" -t -cC:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8\config.fpw

The error persists because you are still not using the quotation marks around the path of the config file.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8\vfp8.exe" -t -c"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8\config.fpw "

Mike,
Good catch - I of course didn't need the quotes in my example due to my CONFIG.FPW file location. I didn't think to include the sometimes necessary 2nd set of quotes in the "generic" situation.
