Blog after long time. Just got extremely busy in some personal stuff. Came across Microsoft new development release. Have not tried it yet but thought for those who visit this site should know. Well microsoft have release Visual Studio 2010 version. Its major improvement which i am expecting is the development of office apps and also sharepoint apps. Let us all see.

Being a developer, i was wondering why is it that i have to see the visual studio splash screen everytime i launch VS.

According to me, the information which gets displayed on the spash screen must be taking some processing time to gather the data and display on it.

This information is completely useless to me and i dont want to waste that much time watching that splash screen come and go.

In my PC it takes around 2 - 5 seconds. I dont want to waste that. Hence i was going through net and found a important flag to pass as parameter when running the visual studio i.e. "devenv.exe"

Hence right click the menu shortcut of visual studio in program files and in the target location replace following:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /nosplash

/nosplash is the key to skip the splash screen :-).
