If you’re
tired of seeing the Windows 7 logo splash screen every time you restart your
system, it’s easy to disable it. Here’s how.
In
Windows 7 or Vista, click Start and type: msconfig into the search field and
hit Enter
The
System Configuration windows opens. Select the Boot tab, then check No GUI
Boot. Click OK
The next time
you restart your system, the Windows splash screen will no longer be displayed,
and you’ll go directly to the log in screen. It’s debatable whether this helps
Windows boot faster, but at least the annoying screen is gone.
You
can use this trick in XP and Vista too. In XP, open msconfig, click the
BOOT.INI tab and check /NOGUIBOOT, click OK and restart the system
If you’re
sick of hearing the Windows start up sound, you can disable that too.
