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


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) 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.
