Title: How delete "don't show this window again"?
Post by: Matt Groening on December 07, 2009, 06:42:26 AM

I want delete "don't show this window again" from the startup settings window.
I want use only "Game.exe" without "Settings.exe".

It's not possible to disable the check-box.

But then I see the problem for commercial shareware projects.
Because publishers (casual, shareware) instal own wrapper on "Game.exe". And "Setting.exe" does not work in that case.
Some developers don't duplicate settings (windiwed mode, sound etc.) from startup window in the game.
And if I run this exe-file (wrapper) and check "don't show this window again", then never any more I will not see startup window.

The only thing settings.exe does is that it runs game.exe with command line parameter "-detect". Instead of using settings.exe, your installer can make two icons, one for running "game.exe", and one for running "game.exe -detect".
