Is there a way to customize the Welcom Page? In particular I'd like to hide the Upcoming Events panel. Here are a fiew questions about hiding the Welcome Page altogether, and I'd prefer to just remove the Upcoming Events panel if it's possible.

I too find this Welcome Page and the Upcoming Events panel - and their browser random popup - to be very annoying! – Arnaud Bouchez

The Welcome Page is just a HTML page located in the Welcomepage subfolder of your Delphi installation.

To remove the Upcoming Events panel make sure you have write permission to the default.htm file in that folder. Then open default.htm in an editor, remove the div class="feedPanel" block and save the file.

In case your IDE setting is not set to English edit the default.htm in the folder of your current language setting.
