Description:

The file splshwrp.exe is a process belonging to Windows XP Tablet PC Edition by Microsoft Corporation. The splshwrp.exe process is the one responsible for having the splash page displayed. The suppliers can adjust the splshwrp.exe file so they can have their corresponding logos displayed. Disabling or enabling the splshwrp.exe process is down to user preference.

The Tablet PC Edition, an edition of Windows XP, is specially intended for tablet PCs. Tablet PCs are uniquely designed notebook or laptop computers. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is compatible with a pen-sensitive screen supporting portrait-oriented screens and handwritten notes. A retail version is available for Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN) subscribers.

The process splshwrp.exe launches the splash screen called Welcome to Tablet PC. This splash screen is presented after the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is successfully installed. The Welcome to Tablet PC splash screen will continue to appear until the check box "Do not show me this again" is selected. The Welcome to Tablet PC splash screen provides a launching point for a short training wizard Get Going with Tablet PC as well as a link to the Tablet PC Tutorials. In the Get Going with Tablet PC training wizard, users will be given an overview of how to use the pen and Input Panel as well as set handedness for each user. The handedness setting can significantly impact usability if it is not set appropriately. If the splash screen is disabled, users should be instructed to adjust the handedness setting in Tablet and Pen Settings in the Control Panel.

The splash screen will be disabled from appearing at logon by creating the REG_DWORD registry key: HKCU\ Software\ Microsoft\ TabletOOBE\ ShowTabletSplash then set the value data to 0 (zero).
