With tweakUI you can set your machine up so that it does not display the splash screen at startup....
What is changed to accomplish this??
In other words: How could I acchieve this without using tweakUI and doing it by hand (maybe it's some registry setting) ???
it adds "logo=0" to the bottom of the "Options" section in "c:\msdos.sys"
i think you can alter this file like an ordinary ini file...
------------------Code:' Module declaration
Declare Function WritePrivateProfileString Lib "kernel32" Alias "WritePrivateProfileStringA" (ByVal lpApplicationname As String, ByVal lpKeyName As Any, ByVal lsString As Any, ByVal lplFilename As String) As Long
'Code that does it
public sub RemoveSplash()
WritePrivateProfileString "Options", "Logo", "0", "c:\msdos.sys"
end sub

Hi.
If you want to do it manually:
open your C:\msdos.sys in wordpad.
in the options "section" add the 2 commented lines without the comments.
[Options]
BootMulti=1
BootMenu=1' To have booting options
BootGUI=1
Logo=0 ' To get rid of splash screen.
DoubleBuffer=1
Network=1
In the same order.
When done. save it with text option.
Good Luck.
