MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / November 2006Word splash screen
Is there any way I can disable the splash screen that is shown when Word loads. I know about the /q option on a shortcut, but that doesn't help when clicking on a .doc file. I would hope there is some registry setting that I could use. FWIW, suppressing the splash screen doesn't make Word load any faster. But I would imagine you would need to add the /q switch to the path in Tools | Folder Options | File Type: DOC | Advanced | Open | Edit.  SignatureSuzanne S.

Worked a treat once I realised you were talking about explorer stuff! I wasn't expecting any speed-up....I just didn't like the splash screen. > FWIW, suppressing the splash screen doesn't make Word load any faster.

By the time I'd drilled down to get the path from Tools | Folder Options, I forgot to mention Windows Explorer! SignatureSuzanne S.

In Windows Explorer, Tools/Folder options/File Types. Locate DOC and select it. Click "Advanced", then choose an entry (Open). Click Edit. Add the /q switch to the command line under "Application used to perform action" Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
