I was wondering how to get rid of the start up screen for Outlook Express 6.0 (the screen where it says this program is liecensed to..) I want to get rid of it, because it when outlook loads that screen takes forever to go away. so if anyone knows how to get rid of it, please let me know. Btw, i’m running Windows XP (Home edition)
I had this problem with the OutLook Express taking forever to load up. I suspect caused OE to act like this has something to do deleting all in the Windows Messenger folder found in the program file folders.
Outlook is working fine now. I downloaded a program called Tweak Manager and disabled the splash screen for OE and now it loads up much faster.
Cool. I tried the one from (http://www.winguides.com/tweak) it works beautifully. Tweak Manager is a shareware.
I also found a way to manually change this at beemerworld.com , although the registry key seems to have some variations on my machine. The {60C1DB40-3D7D-11D3-9948-E8F007254B26} part on my machine (the site mentions the possibility of this being different) is different. Within the directory that this is supposed to be located, there are three different such numbers each containing the correct folders, so I just added the DWORD value to all three. Seems to work find [:-D].
Also, even though ladie_vennom did mention that hers loads much faster now that the splash screen is gone, this really shouldn’t make that much of a difference. I think it more depends on the speed of your system than on whether or not the splash screen is appearing. On my 2.53 p4 it loads in less than a second with both the splash screen and without it. But on my fathers old junker (700mhz) it takes about 20 seconds to load both with and without the splash screen.
I was doing some research on MSN E-mail issues, I came across this site (http://www.windowsbeta.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=27). I would rather seeing OE splash screen on my desktop, so I will give it a try later on.
I know this may be a little off the subject and if it is a moderator may move it, no prob. But I have an OE question. When I start it up AIM always tries to load and then causes me problems for AIM when I am done in OE, causing me to reboot. Anyone know what is going on?
Maybe u have your AIM set as your default messaging program. I had the same problem once to, when OE starts AIM loads as well, cause its set asyour default messenger. To disable it, open AIM go to perferences -> sign on/off and uncheck the box beside make AIM my default instant messaging program . See if that helps you.
