In my Windows 98 desktop, I used these instructions to eliminate the splash
screen when starting OE: To remove the 'splash' screen that appears when opening Outlook Express, you will need to modify the registry. If you are comfortable doing so, run "regedit.exe" Navigate down to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, then click on "Outlook Express." On the right pane, right-click on a blank area, choosing "New" then "DWORD Value." Name this value "NoSplash." Right-click on the new DWORD Value you made and choose "Modify." On the dialog box that appears, enter "1" as the value data and press OK to close the dialog box. Now, close Registry Editor. -- I've just used the same instructions in my laptop with Windows XP, and the splash screen still appears. It just flashes for a second, but it does appear. How can I eliminate the spash screen altogether? Thanks, Larry |

Did you do it /exactly/ like this?
How do I turn off the OE splash screen? In Regedit, navigate to this key: |--HKEY_CURRENT_USER |-----Identities |--------{GUID} |-----------Software |--------------Microsoft |-----------------Outlook Express |--------------------5.0 where GUID is the Global Unique IDentifier for your Identity. In the right-hand pane, right-click on a blank spot and select New| DWORD value. Name the new value NoSplash. Right-click that and assign it a value of 1 (one). --------------- I just did it on my XP machine and it was successful. Do you have more than one GUID listed in HKCU? -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Larry" wrote in message ...
