I don't know if that is possible. It is a user preference, not a document setting.

Hi jonathan,

Thanks for your reply, we can access the user preference from set User = qv.GetUserPreferences right , but i am unable to find the flag name of "Getting Started Wizard" in user preferences.

Me neither. The users settings are saved in a text file in ProgramData or Users. But why you do you need to change this programmatically?

Try this:

set up = ActiveDocument.GetApplication.GetUserPreferences
up.UseFileWizard = true ' false
ActiveDocument.GetApplication.SetUserPreferences up

I think there isn't a documented way to access this per vbs - maybe you could access/changed it per easter egg but it would be rather a nasty trial and error:

Maybe you could use as alternatively to copy and open an already exists qvw and changed it then (change load/modul script, import layouts, whatever ...).

You could find many examples and explanations into the APIGuide.qvw in your install-folder (by automation).
