Hi Dori, In fact, there is a simpler way to disable the Splash Screen: Open up ZoneAlarm, click on "configure", then uncheck "Load ZoneAlarm at Startup". The bad part is, you'll still have to turn ZA on by going to Start/Programs. Glad I could help. If you have any other questions, feel free to post here or e-mail. Skoob
