Hello again,
I do wish to ask the subjects for demographic information at the beginning of the e-prime program but not for subject -or sessionnumber, this information should be passed onto the program from a c# application. How do I selectively turn off the session and subject number dialogs, e-studio does not permits this in the options menu.

Also, I've attached the data-file a run of my program creates. This is extremely bloated, the only variables I need are the SubjectNumber, Accuracy's, ReactionTime's and TargetPositive.
How do I modify the e-prime program so that it only stores this information, I've already turned off logging for all objects that do not require this..

You can turn off the prompts for any of the StartupInfo questions by clicking on the question mark icon or opening the question and unchecking the "Prompt the user for this startup info parameter".  With exception of the Subject/Session, the other startup info prompts can be removed completely from the list.  Or you can just uncheck their main check box or uncheck the "Enable this startup info parameter" checkbox in the main GUI for editing startup info parameters.

If you do not want any prompts, then you can select the "Use default values and do not prompt..." and uncheck the "Display a summary..." check box.

If any of the StartupInfo values are to be determined ahead of time (and you have E-Prime 2.0 Professional), you can either use an external .startupInfo file or use a PackageFile to add these values to the Context.

Thanks for your help Brandon, but I don't think your answer suffices to solve the problem.

I wish to launch my E-Prime application from a C# application which will provide the subject and session variables (through a startupinfo file).
But I do want the E-Prime application to ask for other values when it starts up.
Right now the program asks for the values I want but also for Session and Subject number when it starts.

The problem is that you cannot turn off the options in the startupinfo menu and have e-prime refrain from asking for the subject and session values but still ask for the other ones.

couldn't you just use c# to send fake keypresses?

Take a look at the attached, it does not prompt for subject/session, but it does prompt for age/hand.
