152060 2003-06-12 10:46:00 Hi there, first question...is there an "email address" site in New Zealand which lists peoples email addresses like a phone book? And, I have a multimedia keyboard which came with installation disc, now it loads an advertisement type page just before I log on..is there any way of removing this at all, as it adds another 30 seconds to my startup..thank you in advance... amazon (3976)

Definitively No.
People consider their e-mail addresses as a privacy issue, and any such list would be "harvested" by all the e-mail marketers who create the obnoxious "spam" that pervades the web.
It will never exist for these reasons alsone.

You need to identify the program that runs to start this, it will likely have an option to turn off the "splash" screen. It should be identifiable from the Startup folder, but depends what version of Windows you are using.
