Can any one tell me if you can remove the "creative" start up/welcome music and logo, which appears each time, when i log on to my pc?
You may disable the splash screen on startup as follows:
Click on Start - Programs - Creative.
Select the audio card installed in your system, for example, Sound Blaster Audigy 2, then select Creative Splash Screen,or Creative EAX, depending on the audio card and versions of drivers installed
Click on the settings icon (the little circle).
Uncheck the Load on Startup option.
If the Creative Splash Screen or Creative EAX is not listed under Start menu, you can disable it with the procedure stated below. Note these steps do not apply to the Sound Blaster Live 5.1 drivers installed under Win 95/98.
Open My Computer and browse to C:\Program Files\Creative\Splash Screen\demo32.exe.
A DemoShield Player window will open asking which Database to use, choose CTEax.dbd.
It should load at the lower right hand corner, click the smaller circle on the bottom.
This will give you an option that says "Load on Startup". Uncheck this to disable the splash screen on startup.
