Splash Screen Removal

BarTopDancer · 01-03-2007, 09:31 AM

We received some computers that have a splash screen upon start-up that we'd like to remove. Google isn't being very helpful. Does anyone know how to remove it?

Basically, we had Dell image a bunch of computers for us. Upon start-up some of them say "Department of Education" (in Spanish). We want to remove that (the rest of the image is ours).

Thank you!

Is this on the BIOS startup, or Windows startup? Normally there's a setting in the BIOS to disable a BIOS splash screen.

I'm not sure which OS you're using. But I found this article that works for 2000 and XP.

Edited to ad, if you are using XP you can also try www.screenbooty.com

Edited one more time to add this if you're using something other than 2000 or XP http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/logo_scr.html

Okay, I can't be the only one who thought this was going to be a thread announcing that they've finally removed the screen at the end of Splash Mountain next to the owl that doesn't show your picture anymore.

Not me. I don't even know what screen you're talking about. But the last time I was on Splash Mountain was, I think, 1999.

I thought of that little owl as soon as I read the thread title.
