Turning off Portable Applications Splash Screens

I have an autostart file in the root of my portable drive which runs pstart on startup. Pstart in turn starts up my portable thunderbird, Pass2Go and FireFox, can you tell me if it is possible to disable the splash screens in the portable applications on this site? Is there a setting that can be simply changed to disable this.

Thanks, Simon

It's in the ini, dude.

It's in the ini, dude. People really should read the documentation before posting these questions.

Setting was overlooked

It's all in my signature Wink

Thanks, it was missing from my ini file and I must have overlooked it in the readme so for that I apologise.

Is it...

In the same directory (folder) as the PortableFirefox.exe launcher (not firefox.exe)? It will not work anywhere else. You have to move it to the exact same folder.

It will work in the

It will work in the following places:
the directory where portablethunderbird.exe is, which we'll call ${EXEDIR} Blum
\${EXEDIR}\
\${EXEDIR}\PortableThunderbird\
\${EXEDIR}\PortableApps\PortableThunderbird\ (where I keep mine)

Here's the code snippet from PortableThunderbird.nsi (PortableThunderbird.exe's source file):

!define NAME "PortableThunderbird"

...

;=== Find the INI file, if there is one
		IfFileExists "$EXEDIR\${NAME}.ini" "" CheckSubINI
			StrCpy "$INIPATH" "$EXEDIR\"
			Goto ReadINI

	CheckSubINI:
		IfFileExists "$EXEDIR\${NAME}\${NAME}.ini" "" CheckSubSubINI
			StrCpy "$INIPATH" "$EXEDIR\${NAME}\"
			Goto ReadINI

	CheckSubSubINI:
		IfFileExists "$EXEDIR\PortableApps\${NAME}\${NAME}.ini" ""

Of course, this is explained in the readme. Blum
