Why does NOT my Eclipse ask for workspace on startup?

In my Eclipse:

Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Startup and Shutdown -> Workspaces:

And the "Prompt for workspace on startup" is checked, but anytime I start Eclipse, it does NOT ask for workspace to open.

Why is that? Please help me! Thank you!

1/ Check the value of -startup in eclipse.ini. IF - startup you find

-startup plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcherXXXXXX.jar

it's OK

if you find other values comment them

2/ you go to ( in eclipse ): preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > workspaces and then you check ( prompt for workspace on startup )

3/ you run you eclipse with eclipse.exe -clean

Try starting Eclipse with eclipse.exe -clean. You can also manually edit Eclipse files, but better use the supported run argument. As I already commented - this is suggested here, but you seem to have skipped it and went straight for the second answer :-)
