Parameters

previous instance of SPLASH.EXE is already
running, the program simply exits.

/SHutdown

Closes an existing splash window, if one exists,
then exits.

/MINimize

Displays the splash window minimized. If a
previous instance of SPLASH.EXE is already
running, the program minimizes the existing
splash window and then exits.

/MAXimize

Displays the splash window maximized. If a
previous instance of SPLASH.EXE is already
running, the program maximizes the existing
splash window and then exits.

Specifies path to settings file, which controls
appearance of splash screen and animated
message box (see notes below). Default:
SPLASH.INI

/Text

Specifies path to text strings file, which contains
the title and text of the animated message box
(see notes below). Default: none.

If no command switch (i.e. /STart, /SHutdown, /MINimize or /MAXimize) is
specified, the default behavior is the same as if /MAXimize had been specified.

dialog appearance and behavior. This file is in the format of a Windows INI file, as
shown below:
