I always use a (much) smaller resolution. That way the splash screen does not get in the way for doing other things (like reading e-mail) when Pro/E is starting up.

Kind regards
 
Cheez and crackers, man!


You see the Pro/E startup screen for less than minute everyday! You should praly stay away from marriage!

We did a fun prank to one of the guys here. Made different splash files so it looked like he launched another program.

Guess if he was surprised first time, launching Pro/E and got the splash from AutoCad

We changed it every day to confuse him. Last plan was to run an animated .gif but that stopped Pro/E from running so we made that his default homepage in IE instead.


That animation was a compilation of all the splash screens he had seen during the week and rounded up with an image of him self with the text like "I've been pranked"
