This whole thing is SO bizarre. If Chase can do this, than why not EVERY FI
downloading their own splash logo; last one wins?

Why Quicken should allow the function to exist that changes their logo to
some arbitrary one (unless of course they're in bed with Chase somehow?) is
beyond me.

At this point, screw it. I have other things to worry about that the date
of the splash screen. I am not about to start mucking with .ini or registry
entries to "fix" this!

My splash screen says "Wells Fargo". I do have a Chase credit card,
along with Citi, BofA, and several other banks, so Wells Fargo isn't my
only bank.

It appears, then disappears, and I don't care what it says. My
preference would be to turn it off, but it isn't important. It has no
purpose.

Interesting. I don't have any Wells Fargo relationships, so I can't comment
on that. I wonder if Q simply has a 'hole' that other FIs are simply
exploiting. Seems funny that multiple FIs can put splash screens in unless,
as I surmised earlier, 'last one wins'.

ok... it's under the Marketing banner,
so, I'm guessing it's part of a specific marketing target.

my "10898" version is from Chase -
and we have Chase checking & savings accounts ?

SO - maybe it's tied to specific types of accounts,
or Billpay (don't use it), or some other "primary attribute" ?

I have nothing concrete to base it upon but my guess would be that FI's
"buy" the space.
Sort of like the air space behind home plate on a baseball game - we only
see it on TV - it's not actually there on the wall at the stadium.
Eventually a different one would show-up in a different <nnn> folder.
