Ever wonder what's going on behind that
splash screen? Well, now you can find out!
Right click My Computer, Properties,
Advanced, Startup and Recovery, Edit. Edit BOOT.INI. Add "/SOS" right
after "/fastdetect" with a space between. The line will look something
like this:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect /SOS. When you're finished. The first part,
multi(0)..... may not be the same on your machine. Upon restarting, the
splash screen will be gone. It can be re-enabled by removing the new
switch
