SplashKiller

I got it in my head I didn't want to see splash screens when I started up an application. No reason except contrariness. Wouldn't you know there's a handy little freeware utility that takes care of that very thing.

SplashKiller runs in the system tray and saves you from having to:
1. Find a 'no splash screen' option (if one exists) in the application.
2. Modify your registry to turn off a splash screen.
3. Hack the application itself to remove the splash screen.

If you'd rather the SplashKiller icon not show in the systray, it can do that, too.

Itch -> scratched.
