Disabling the Windows Splash screen

I have always wondered what goes on behind the Windows Splash screen at startup.Lol,I used to imagine Windows was doing something sneaky with my data while innocently welcoming me with its logo,during the startup.You can actually disable the splash screen and see the loading process(though its very limited and you won't actually see Windows loading t he drivers and other stuff).To disable the windows splash screen,

Right click on My Computer->Properties.
Click on the Advanced tab.Under Startup and Recovery,click on Settings button.
You'll see an Edit button;click on that.A text file should open up in notepad.The last line will look something like this:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

To this line,append /SOS(a space followed by /SOS).Now the new line should be:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /SOS

Save the text file and close the remaining windows by clicking on OK.You won't get the Splash screen the next time you boot up.To revert to the old settings,simply remove the /SOS switch and save the text file.
