Speed up Visual Studio 2003 Startup Time By Disabling the Splash Screen

Visual Studio 2003 has a splash screen that is unnecessary and adds time to launching.

To disable this, simply right click on the shortcut to Visual Studio and choose Properties.

Add in the text /nosplash after the end of the Target line, as shown in the screenshot above.

No more splash screen.
