Notice that a splash screen is the least important part of an
application (the aboutbox is still less important).

Why not write "Harfreed" ("a" pronounced like the "a" in "a toy") in future?
Would enable people to know how your name sounds really.

Using VB in VS2005. 2005 has a new way to implment a spash screen that alleviates the need for hardly any code. But I have found that when a GUI that has a splash screen is run as a scheduled task, the splash screen (and no other screen) is displayed for the entire run of the application. How can I disable the spalsh screen just for when an app is run as a scheduled task?

In vb2005 Express: In My Project Application Splash Screen I have selected my splash screen form. The form opens on project startup but closes immediately before anyone would have time to read it. I presume it only stays visible while the main form initialises. This is not long enough but I can't see how to slow it down. Should I set the splash screen using the Application settings or go back to

Hi In my app I have a SplashScreen, a login form and a main form. On launching the app, I'd like to show the SplashScreen while reading config files and attempting a database connection. I show progress of these tasks on a label on the SplashScreen form. Once this is completed ok, the splash screen should close and the login form should be displayed. A successful login closes that form and shows the main form.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
