Must be a VB thing, because there is no option like that in the Application tab of a C# project properties.

Sorry for my confustion. IN C# we have to build a splash screen form and choose to .Show() and .Close() it.

Without some direct method such as SplashScreen.Close() I can't picture when your exe would close the form. Quite often the startup of a program includes loading values, getting environmental info etc. etc. and its nice to have the splash screen up while all that happens. Closing the splash screen when you are actually ready for user interaction.

If you're not having to call a method to close the splash screen then I don't know when it think it should close.
