Portable applications are cool because you can run them on any machine from your thumb drive. What isn’t cool is the annoying splash screens that appear when launching the apps. Here’s how to disable the annoyance.

In this example we are using Portable Apps version 1.6.1 and Portable Firefox.

Disable Splash Screen in Portable Firefox

To disable the Splash Screen, open up Computer and double-click on your flash drive containing PortableApps.

Now browse to the following location…

PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Other\Source

In this directory you’ll find the file FirefoxPortable.ini. Open this file with Notepad…

This ini file should look similar to the shot below. By default, the line DisableSplashScreen=False … we just need to change False to True.

Then make sure to save the change…

Now copy the FirefoxPortable.ini file we just edited.

Then go back to the main directory PortableApps \ FirefoxPortable and paste it there.

That is all there is to it! Now when you launch Portable Firefox, you won’t have to wait while the Splash Screen displays before you can start using it.
