Hi All! Back in 2001, Ian Erickson wrote: Here are some other possibilities (of starting mapinfow.exe / my comment)(taken from the MapBasic 6.0 documentation):
-nosplash = MapInfo runs without showing its splash screen, although the main MapInfo window still shows. -server = MapInfo runs without showing a splash screen or main window. Use this argument when you want MapInfo to act as a behind-the-scenes server to another application (using DDE). -automation or -embedding = MapInfo runs without displaying a splash screen or main window. Additionally, MapInfo registers its OLE Class Factory with the OLE subsystem, which allows MapInfo to act as a behind-the-scenes OLE server to another application. -regserver = MapInfo registers its OLE capabilities in the registration database, then exits. Run MapInfo with this argument once, when you install MapInfo. Note that MapInfo automatically registers itself when it is run normally. Note very well that this registers everything about the MapInfo product -- OLE Automation, OLE Embedding, etc. -unregserver = MapInfo removes all references to itself from the registration database and exits. Use this option at uninstall time to remove MapInfo from the system registry. Using this argument unregisters everything that the -regserver option registered. -helpdiag = This argument sets a flag in MapInfo, so that MapInfo displays a diagnostic dialog every time you press F1 for online Help. For more information on Help issues, see Online Help. Most of these are not particualrly useful except if you're writing DDE applications...And then if you're doing that...you're dating yourself. Hope this helps! Ian Erickson AnalyGIS Thanks to Ian E and maybe the -regserver option does the trick for you, Ian T.

I have MapInfo 6.5, 7.0 and 7.5 installed on my PC, I want to make sure that the default version is 7.5. MapInfo 6.5 was the last version installed.
