I think this Start Screen feature was deleted after only a month when the new Start Screen was introduced, however, the frustration with this feature was likely related to the long delay in the opening of the Start Screen when the Internet was connected.  Now that the "Internet delay" has been resolved it would be nice to have and option to have the Start Screen open every time I close a Project, or maybe when the last Project has been closed.
 
Thanks

Yes, I would also like to see this option.

Voted

I liked when the start screen opened when closing a project as well.
 
It would be nice if this was an option in the Preferences, but for now, I assign one of the Custom Module buttons to open the Start Screen.
 

I just tried to vote 5, but apparently I already had.  I must REALLY think this is a good idea. 

bumping this because start screen functionality is much better now than when it came out.
