Zone Alarm Splash Screen

How do yoy disable splash screens?

[nick t]

I had a look for you but i`m not sure , this is the faq section http://www.zonelabs.com/services/support_common.htm#1

If you're starting ZoneAlarm from the Start Menu or from the the "StartUp" folder on the Start Menu, right click on the shortcut and add -nopopup -nosplash to the end of the command line. It should look something like this:
"C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zonealarm.exe" -nopopup -nosplash

I don't know how to disable the splash if ZoneAlarm starts through msconfig, but you could just uncheck it in msconfig and put it in the "Startup" folder instead.

I think the splash screen had a place to click to put a checkmark in the box telling zonealarm not to show the splash anymore. Thats how I kept it from coming on all the time.
I also have zonealarm come on whenever I bootup, so I don't forget to enable it.

when you use the -nopopup thing, the popups still come up, but the buttons don't work (on the latest version anyhow). There isn't a way to uncheck the splash screen on this version, but you can uncheck the popups thing, which is what I did. Thanks, that had been bugging me too. Now if only someone could tell me how to get rid of the splash on VShield I'd be set...

club_med, on the ZoneAlarm configuration tab, uncheck Load ZoneAlarm at Startup, or uncheck ZoneAlarm in msconfig. Place a shortcut to ZoneAlarm in StartUp folder on the Start menu and modify the command line as previously mentioned.


samwichse, I don't use McAfee, so I can't verify that this works.

Tip: Remove the McAfee Vshield splash screen
First disable Vshield. Then open the DEFAULT.VSH file with a text editor, such as Notepad. In the [General] section, change or add the line "bNoSplash=1". Save when finished. The next time you boot you should NOT see the Vshield Splash Screen. To restore simply change "1" to "0" or delete the line. - WINDOWS TIPS (http://members.bellatlantic.net/~flag4/windows.html)

Hmmm... that only turns off the splash when you start up the actual scanner. The VShield thing that comes up when you boot up still comes on. Oh well, at least it doesn't have the ZA splash overlapping it anymore.

Alright... last try. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif
