You can disable it in the registry: under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CodeGear\BDS\7.0\Known IDE Packages, find the entry named $(BDS)\Bin\startpageide140.bpl and modify the value by prepending an underscore (so it looks like '_Borland Start Page IDE Package'). You can re-enable it later by removing the underscore.
