Disable the SQL Server splash screen
Every time you start the SQL Server Management Studio you get a splash screen. You can get rid of the splash screen by creating a new shortcut to start the SQL Server Management Studio with a flag set. Just right-click on an empty part of the Desktop and select "New" -> "Shortcut". Click the "Browse" button and find the executable for sqlwb (on my computer it's at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\Sqlwb.exe but it may be in a different location on your computer).
Once you select the location, it'll fill this into the box and put it in double quotes. You need to go to that box and after the last double quote add a space and then -nosplash
You can then click "Next" and complete the creation of the shortcut. Once the shortcut is created you'll be able to start SQL Server Management Studio using it and it'll skip the splash page.
