Dear Sparky Developers,

This is a rather minor point, but I thought it might be useful for you to know: the Sparky text-based welcome screen does not show up for me except when I have manually changed the SPARKYHOME environment variable. My computer is running Windows 10 Home (fully updated, as of Aug. 11, 2017), and the default pathway was C:Users[my name]Sparky. When SPARKYHOME is left to default values, there is only a completely blank screen in the main file menu window. After the SPARKYHOME environment variable was edited to a non-default path, the welcome screen appeared as expected.

Sorry for taking your time, and thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
Tony Phan
