1.5 Prompt screens/Can we shut them off?

[Dogfish40]

Skippers!
Is there a way to shut off the prompt screens in 1.5?
These are the screens that pop up asking you if you want to Engage target, Dive to periscope depth, or watch TV.
I can't stand these things, they're disruptive and a little stupid, moreover, they take your attention away at the very time when the game is the most fun.
Is there a mod to shut it down? Or a file to pilfer? I say thanks in advance and Good Hunting!

PS/Edit, I have done some searching on this and can't come up with anything so far...

When it pops up, before you click anything, click the lower left corner, where it says "Make this the standard function" (I don't remember what it actually says, but you get the idea). Then choose what you want it to do. It will now do that every time, and will never ask again.

So if I choose nothing, and then check the box where it says " make this the standard command..or whatever, by choosing nothing it'll take that as my choice and will stop the screen from popping up (hopefully for the rest of the patrol). I hope that there are only the two instances that the screen shows up (enemy ships or planes).
That sounds like a fix to me, thanks Steve!

If you tick maintain orders or somthing to that affect and set it to default,then it will be up to you.

No. You have to choose "Maintain current orders" or whatever it says. It's been so long I honestly don't remember. Choose the one that isn't "Attack" or "Emergency Dive".

Gee, my version of SH1.5 must be out of whack. I have NEVER been given the option of watching television. (btw, what were the tops shows during the war? Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam [refer to emblem below], Andy Divine, Squeaky, Midnight ["Nice'] and Froggy ["Twang your majic twanger Froggy"], and Daffy/Tweetie ["I thought I saw a puddy tat. I DID! I DID! I saw a PUDDY TAT!"]?) What about Soupy Sales? ["What do you know about lettuce? Long ago the French used heads of lettuce as binoculars. They would cut two holes in the head and hold it in front of their face so they could watch the French dressing! It's true."]

Got it. I'll choose the option , I think it is something like "maintain orders" and then check the box. Thanks. I had the impression that this was something that I couldn't stop, but this makes sense now, thanks and thanks again to Steve as well.

Yer not going to believe this but now that you mention it, I have 7 Looney toons collections that I watch whilst playing SH4 (including the war collection with Bugs literally bugging Herman Goering and you know who and Daffy (my Favorite) whoping Adolf over the head with a mallet. Add to that another bunch of collections from Fleisher with some old black and white Popeye stuff and I'm in the mood to play. I'm only 50 yrs old, I've gotta' have some fun!
