Remove Windows XP splash Screen and See Boot Operations

21:46    10 comments

Are you having boot up problems and would like to know what it going on behind that Windows Loading Logo? To find out, you can disable the splash screen by making a small change to the Boot.ini file. Maybe you can get a hint or two by viewing what has messed up your OS or just for curiosity,once can disable Windows logo screen and  view boot operations.

Follow these steps (carefully!): 


  1. Open the "System Properties" dialog box ( Settings - Control Panel - System)
  2. On the Advanced tab, click the Settings button in the "Startup And Recovery" section.
  3. In the "Startup And Recovery" dialog box, select the Edit button in the "System Startup" section.
  4. The Boot.ini file will open in Notepad; locate the line that ends with the /fastdetectswitch.
  5. Position your cursor to the right after the parameter, press the spacebar, and add the /SOS switch.
  6. Save the Boot.ini file, and close Notepad.
  7. Click Cancel to close both the "Startup And Recovery" dialog box and the "System Properties" dialog box.
  8. Restart the computer to see the effect.
Once the computer restarts you will notice that the Windows Splash Screen is no longer present. Instead you can observe some of the boot up operations that Windows XP performs during the startup stage.

To re-enable the splash screen, follow the same procedure but remove the "/SOS".

    You really make it appear so easy with your presentation but I to find this topic to be actually something that I believe I'd never understand.
    It kind of feels too complex and very broad for me.
    I'm taking a look forward for your subsequent publish, I will try to
    get the grasp of it!

    Hi there, I think your website could be having web browser compatibility issues.
    When I take a look at your site in Safari, it looks fine but
    when opening in IE, it has some overlapping issues.
    I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up! Aside from that, excellent site!

    Hello there! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
    My blog looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that
    might be able to fix this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share.
    Thank you! Quest Bars blogesaurus

    Hey there! I realize this is kind of off-topic however I needed to ask.

    Does running a well-established blog such as yours require a massive amount work?
    I am brand new to operating a blog however I do write
    in my journal every day. I'd like to start a blog so I can easily
    share my experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for
    new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!
