How to Hide Splash in ImgBurn
Some people wish there was a way to turn off ImgBurn's splash screen, which displays before the software loads on a computer. ImgBurn is a Microsoft Windows utility that lets its user write compact discs (CDs) and digital video discs (DVDs) from International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and other image files. Even though ImgBurn doesn't provide a built-in option to disable the splash screen, a workaround exists.
