I run Mercury as a service (win32) that starts up automatically when I start up the computer.
When starting, the startup screen always appears for couple of seconds.
It would be nice to have a parameter (for example mercury.exe -nosplash) that starts up Mercury without splash screen so that it feels as an "invisible" service when starting up the computer.

Strangly if srvany.exe is used (part of Windows Resource Kit Tools) to create the effect of Mercury as nt service, there is no start-up screen when the parameter mercury.exe -m is used, but there is a minimized window of mercury in the taskbar that disappears when you click on it.
When the program FireDaemon (http://www.firedaemon.com/) is used to let seem Mercury as a nt service, there is no minimized window but still a startup screen.
