How to disable the splash screen on Office 2010

[Computer_Freak]

We all saw the splash screen that appears every time we launch a Microsoft Office program. Whether Word, Excel, PowerPoint or other Office program, a screen appears on the screen before you actually start the program. It looks pretty on the first run but the same screen begins frustrating when you start Office programs over and over again.

The startup screen in the latest version of the Office suite, Microsoft Office 2010, is useful in some aspects. It shows all the loading Add-ones and other things and also lets you close the program in the mid-way, without having to wait for the launch window. But if you are running Office programs several times a day, then watching the same boot screen again and again for 3-5 seconds could frustrate you. Users who wish to get rid of the splash screen and to accelerate the start of office may follow one of the methods listed below.
