I didn't succeed in extracting the screen from the EXE, but - just in case that anyone is interested - I found the solution to my problem: In The Bat!'s directory I found a file batlogo.xml, written by Miroslav Florensen about five years ago, which directs splash.png to the splash screen. I had inserted it, because I liked the idea to have my own splash screen. Then I forgot about it.

The only argument is that more technical knowledge is needed to modify a shortcut than to flick an option switch... Didn't I explain that some weeks ago? Very easy, usually I start TB! from the shortcut on my desktop (I worked three years with OS/2, even had an add-on, similar to dashboard, to emulate desktops on Win3.x). Sometimes, twice a year or so I use the shortcut in the Start menu, which I abhor. And here it comes: After a file operation, e.g. an update, when I am already in the working directory of TB! I click on the actual EXE. But all in all your argument is worth much more. Mine held for 1.53bis (or one of those betas), when the logo obstructed my dial-up password window, as you may recall. - -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.53d on Windows 95 4.0 1212 C Second Marriage: Another instance of the triumph of hope over experience.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Benson, On 20 July 2001 at 20:04:29 -0400 (which was 01:04 where I live) Benson Wills wrote to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and made these points: BW Why isn't there an option to disable the splash screen? Or did I BW overlook it? :-) You did. Change your TB shortcut to use the /NOLOGO command line parameter and that will disable the splash screen. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
