Splash screens in Office2000

[Strongone]

Does anyone know how to remove these - as they do take up server resource and are not necessary.

Cheers!

Did you use the "transform" file to install? I didn't think you could install without it, but if you did use it, it should have replaced all the splash screens with more bandwidth-friendly versions.

If you are wanting to get rid of those, Sorry I have no more info to offer!

To remove the splash screen from Word 2000 SR-1 or SR-1a, create a new shortcut and add &quot; /q&quot; (<space>/q) to the end of the command line. If you don't have SR-1 or SR-1a, download the service pack at http//office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/o2ksr1ddl.aspx

Simply adding &quot; /q&quot; to the existing shortcut target line may not work.

...And for Excel 2000 you have to add a &quot; /e&quot; after the shortcut.
For Powerpoint 2000 i haven't found yet a parameter.
For Outlook 2000 you can add a lot of different parameters, but no one to disable the splash screen. Maybe it is possible over the registry (I saw it for Outlook Express).

Powerpoint 97/2000, use this start command (&quot;Powerpoint.exe&quot; /splash)

&quot;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\powerpnt.exe&quot; /splash

I think you can disable Outlook Express 5 here:

Regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities

ABE2B8A0-C02D-11D3-867B-948FF355BD32}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0

Add a DWORD NoSplash
Make it a value of 1

Great stuff. Certainly makes seamless apps fire up much much faster!

Any ideas for Access or Outlook 2000?

Cheers..
