The syntax of the SPLASH.EXE program is as follows:
SPLASH.EXE [/STart] [/SHutdown] [/MINimize] [/MAXimize]
/Settings=/Text=
Parameters Description
/STart Displays the splash window maximized. If a
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.
/Settings 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.
The settings file controls numerous aspects of the splash window and message box
dialog appearance and behavior. This file is in the format of a Windows INI file, as
shown below:
