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.
Don't show again X

Thanks for the tip, works great with Visual Studio 2005 as well. :)
Thanks fot tip,works with VS 2008
I’d love to use this since it does seem to take VS a while to pass it, but are you sure it won’t take a while to run even without the splash screen? I’m pretty sure that it needs to do a whole lot of initialization like reading big chunks of the registry and files (frameworks, assemblies, etc.) which would take time anyway.
