How to stop opening the what's new site when starting Mathcad 8?

Kind of annoying, every time Mathcad 8 opens it launches the browser and opens the what's new site, can this behaviour be stopped? I've not been able to find any option that set this, didn't happen with Mathcad 7.

 

Thank you.

This is one of the new features of Prime 8, for non-licensed users (Mathcad 8 Express and/or Mathcad 8 during the 30-day trial period). It is to lure Express/trial users into obtaining a full (paid) license.

The method to get rid of this: Pay.

 

Success!

    Just want to note that the start page does not appear during the 30-day trial period; only if you're using the non-licensed Express version.
