You gave the answer already: You're ordered to redesign the welcome page of
an application. Look at welcome pages of other applications. They'll show a
blank screen after startup and pop-up a mini-wizard asking you wether you
want to:
(1) continue with an old session (open existing file)
(2) start a new one (possibly followed by a template-wizard)
(3) be a "super user" and do one of these by yourself ;-) (returning to the
blank screen)
I suggest you build a similar interface.
