Not quite disable it, but I know how to shrink it to a somewhat smaller size... Get Resource Hacker: http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/ Unzip, start... Open MPLab.exe Select Bitmap, Select 138, Right click, replace resource Replace with a custom bitmap, could be 1x1 pixels or take a nice small bitmap out of MPLab.exe again. Save Close Enjoy your tiny splash screen... :)) Regards, Claudio -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Anyone know how to disable MPLAB's splash screen?
