# Disable or customize the Getting started page

When you launch Remote Desktop Manager, the ***Getting started*** page appears by default. If you do not want to see this page each time you open the application, you can disable it in two ways. You can also set a custom welcome page.

### Check Don't show again

If you have not closed the ***Getting started*** page yet, click on ***Don't show again*** in the upper left corner.

You can choose to show a custom page of your own as the welcome page. Go to ***Administration*** – ***System settings*** – ***Application***, under ***Welcome page***, enable the ***Use web or HTML welcome page*** setting and enter the URL that points to your custom welcome page.
