For Netscape right click on the shortcut you use to open it and click the Shortcut tab. In the target box add this: -nosplash with a space between the path that's already there and -nosplash.

In Opera go to File menu >> Preferences >> 'Start and exit' and uncheck 'Show start-up dialog'.

Bobsturs suggestion will take care of one of the splash screens in Opera. To stop the Opera splash screen: You can disable Opera's splash screen by following these simple steps: Exit Opera Open the file "Opera6.ini" (located in your Opera install directory) in a text editor Under [User Prefs], add the following line: Show Splash Screen=0 Save the file and exit the text editor The splash screen will now be disabled when you start Opera. See My Opera Tips and Tricks; Suppressing the splash screen.

You're right - I'd done that one too and forgotten about it since I stick mostly with netscape.

Another tip about Netscape7 is to put a shortcut in StartUp (or the registry) and use the command -turbo. Then Netscape will preload and open as fast as IE.
