splashscreen

One of the most annoying things about portable applications is their splash screen which greets you every time you open one of them! If you can not stand  all this, I have got a nice hack which will let you turn off and get rid of the hated splash screen in a matter for seconds, for good!

  1. Click Start.
  2. In the Search Field, type Computer and press Enter.
  3. Now, double click the USB drive which contains the portable application. (It is labeled “Removable Disk”)
  4. Now browse to the following location: PortableApps\Your_Portable_Application\Other\Source
  5. In this folder you will find a special icon which has got .ini extension. Right-click it and Open it with your Notepad.
  6. The txt file will show you a lot of incomprehensible  commands.
  7. Locate DisableSplashScreen=False. This command manages the splash screen of the portable application.
  8. Simply change False to True and the Splash screen will disappear next time you open the app!
  9. Save the file with the new change.
  10. Right-click it and copy the file.
  11. Now go to the following directory(folder): PortableApps\Your_Portable_Application and paste the .ini file right there!
