Don’t show boot screen when Windows starts

For those who don’t know what boot screen is, it’s a screen with the image of a window (if you haven’t changed it to some other image) that appears first when you start the computer. Many must be tired of looking at it all the time when turning on their PC’s. Some must have even wondered if they could just make it disappear for their screen. Your wish is my command and here is way you can do it. You might think that the procedure is very lengthy, annoying and too complex to do but it’s very simple. It’s the simplest anything could ever be. Here is how you do it:

1. Unhide all the hidden files and folders

2. Go to C: or whatever drive your OS is installed in

3. Open the file ‘boot.ini’ with notepad or wordpad

4. Search for the line ‘multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect’

5. think it’s the last line, add ‘/sos’ to it’s end

6. The new line should look something like this ‘multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /sos’

7. Save the file and restart

Walla, the boot screen is gone and the login seems also a little fast. And don’t get worried if some black screen appears. It’s nothing; Windows just check its file system. Try it. It’s not even a bit risky.
