You can only disable the splash screen during startup: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsembedded/standard/aa731188.aspx To disable the splash screen during startup... Click Start, Run and type MSCONFIG Click the Boot.ini tab Under Operating Systems section, select the appropriate entry and then enable the /NOGUIBOOT switch in the Boot Options section below Click OK and close MSCONFIG utility.
