For those who use one of the following programs, here's a hack to make them start up quicker.
OpenOffice (Windows, Mac, Linux), SunOffice (Windows, Linux), NeoOffice (Mac)
What this hack does is remove the splash screen when starting the relevant program. The splash screen, by the way, is a windows that pops up prior to the program actually opening, which tells you which program is being opened. I have noticed that all three programs open up a little quicker by removing the splash screen.
The Hack!
>In Windows go to /Program Files/OpenOffice2.2/program/soffice.ini
[NB! The directory for OpenOffice may be different depending on which version you have installed]
>in Linux it's under /etc/openoffice/sofficerc
>In NeoOffice on a Mac go to Contents/MacOS and look for sofficerc
Make sure OpenOffice and NeoOffice are closed.
Open the respective file and change:
Logo=1
to:
Logo=0
Then launch OpenOffice or NeoOffice. You should no longer have a splash screen.
