Problem:

A quick trick on how to speed up the loading of the Net Express product is by disabling the Splash screen when the product is started.

Resolution:

To do this after loading Net Express you go to the Option pull down menu, choose Customize and then click on the Workspace tab.  Under the Workspace tab you will find a pull down menu called "Splash screen", you then choose "None".  Finally, just click on OK.

From this point on the Splash screen will no longer show when invoking the Net Express product.
