Start with a random splash screen

First create the number of splashscreens that you would like to use.

Then create a bat-file:

@echo off
NumOfPics=0
for /r %%a in (SplashScr\*.bmp) DO SET /a NumOfPics= %NumOfPics + 1
SET /a ChosenPic="%random% %% %NumOfPics% + 1"
COPY SplashScr\%ChosenPic%.bmp Mozilla.bmp
start mozilla.exe

Remember to set the number of splashscreens being used.


Put the above batch file (mozilla.bat) into the main Moz directory (the one containing mozilla.exe). Also in the main application directory, create a folder named SplashScr, containing n bitmaps (preferably Mozilla splash screens Angel) named 1.bmp to n.bmp. Start Mozilla by running the batch file. You'll get a random splash screen every time.

Thanks to mozby that provided us with this neat little trick.
