Does anyone know how to make it so that the splash screen
doesn't come up when using the new PPviewer2003?
 
Create a BAT file that uses this line, or go to Start > Run and type
<path>pptview.exe /S <path>yourfile.ppt. Provide the full path to your copy
of pptview.exe and the correct path and name of your presentation file.
 
It depends on when you want to suppress the splash screen. When you are
creating the Autorun CD, you can include this switch on the command-line. If
you want the slide show to always use the PowerPoint Viewer, then you can
modify the command-line for the file type to include this switch.

I create my CD in PPT2003. Can you still suppress the MS splash screen once
you have created the CD using "Package for CD" feature?

I looked at the autorun.inf on the CD after creating it and it says.....
[autorun]
open=pptview.exe /L "playlist.txt"

Can you make a change to autorun.inf to suppress MS splash screen after you
have burned CD?
 
You can't change the CD, but you can dump everything back to disk and change
the autorun.inf file, save it, then burn the files to a new CD.

The autorun.inf file should be:

[autorun]
open=pptview.exe /S /L "playlist.txt"

Next time use "Copy to folder", make the change, and then burn to CD.

How do you incorporate the "/S switch" to suppress the splash screen?
