In you user profile area. Just do a search for *.dst in the root user
profile folder.

If you close the welcome page and save the desktop it should not
appear. Another feature is to delete the welcome page package, from
your system or the registry.

I use the welcome page extensively. It has improved a lot since it was
first introduced.

Actually Delphi 7 is showing you them in the order they were added, so
it wouldn't necessarily be the main window. On of the toolbar buttons
on the project manager allows you to reset it back to "random" order.

This is because the RTL gets bigger, the VCL gets bigger (because they
actually update it). The jump in executable size from D2009 to D2010 -
which was significant is because of the added RTTI features. You can
turn some of them off, but it doesn't really reduce the exe size much.

If you are a D2010 registered user you can download Marco Cantu's new
book on it from CodeCentral (mentioned on Marco's blog). Check out the
RTTI chapter for changing various defines.
