Start regedit from the Run... menu and travel down to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Identities \ (Your Identity) \ Software \ Microsoft \ Outlook Express \ 5.0. On the right pane, create a new DWORD with the right-button context menu and name it "NoSplash". Double-click the DWORD to modify it and enter "1" as the value in the dialog box. Close regedit, start Outlook Express, see no splash screen HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\ Infodelivery\Restrictions Add a DWORD value called NoSplash and set the value to 1 http://www.dgyates.demon.co.uk/splash.htm NO SPLASH WINDOWS SPLASH SCREEN: Get Rid of the startup Splash Screen If you have any errors during the DOS phase of your boot, you will never know it unless you disable the Windows splash screen (be sure you enabled viewing HIDDEN and SYSTEM files): Open the C: drive (root folder) Find the file: MSDOS.SYS and right-click it and select 'Properties'. Turn off the Read-Only attribute, then 'Apply' and 'Close' Right-click the MSDOS.SYS file again and select 'Send To' and then 'Notepad' In the [Options] section add the following line: Logo=0 (The last character is a zero).
