If you do not like seeing the Start screen every time you launch the software, then I recommend you deselect the Show the Start screen when this application starts option. When Microsoft introduced this new feature, I found it personally annoying, and disabled the feature as soon as I found the option to disable it. Figure 2 shows the Start screen in my copy of Microsoft Project. When selected, which is the default setting for this option, Microsoft Project displays the Start screen every time you launch the software. The second option, the Show the Start screen when this application starts option, is important to me personally, but it might be important to you as well. This means that date-related columns do not need to be nearly so wide. I recommend that you change the Date format value to the 1/28/09 setting, which displays dates using the short date format.
This means that all date-related columns, such as the Start and Finish columns, need to be fairly wide to display the complete date. The default setting, Wed 1/28/09, displays the day of the week along with the date.
This option controls how Microsoft Project displays the dates in every project you open, so I believe this setting is especially important. The first option is the Date format option, found in the Project view section of the dialog. There are several options on the General page that I believe are important because they impact the “user experience” with Microsoft Project.
