Change Windows 2000 Splash Screen

To change/disable the Windows 2000 splash screen you need to add the following text to the entry in BOOT.INI that launches Windows 2000:

/noguiboot

Example:

if you use the following BOOT.INI entry to boot:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000" /fastdetect

Change it to:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000" /fastdetect /noguiboot

Caution:

Keep in mind that by doing this it may make mysterious problems more difficult to track down if you forget that you've done this. Using /noguiboot also disables the blue screen error messages. This means the system will mysteriously lock up or reboot without giving you any clue
as to why an error occured - ie. there will be no splash screen.
