Sometimes you may find that your Visual Studio IDE is taking a lot of time to startup and this is annoying. So there can be many reasons why your IDE is behaving so strange and slow. So one of the visual enhancement trick is to disable the splash screen which comes when visual studio starts up. To disable this splash screen just go to your Desktop icon which says “Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008” and right click on it. No click on the Properties and in the target to this shortcut just add /nosplash. Now your target looks as “C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0Common7IDEdevenv.exe” /nosplash. And now if you open your IDE with this shortcut then you will not find any splash screen while loading. Remember this removes the splash screen option only from your shortcut, so if you use devenv Run shortcut then you will see the normal splash screen. Stay tuned for more tips and tricks… Happy Programming!!!!!
