Open SH4 Folder. Open DATA, then MOVIES. The INTRO Folder contains the LOGO and Intro movie. You can delete the INTRO Folder to get rid of them.

If you'd like to have the background shown while the game loads to change every time you play, check this out:

Thanks for the heads-up; what a cornucopia of goodies!
Are the chronographs the same size as the stock one?

To jump through the UbiSoft logo intro and the intro movie...…..just hit the ESC keyboard key. No point in removing a Stock game feature when you can just use a keyboard stroke around them.

Too late; already deleted. I understand why deletion can undermine a sense of order, & keep alterations of the original installation to a minimum, but, actually, I'm glad I deleted it. Before, on my install, when d-clicking on the desktop shortcut, the Ubisoft thingy would take 4-5 seconds before it even would show up, & I was growing weary of the mild impatience at every startup. Now, I d-click and the loading screen pops up right away. I'll advise if anything adverse rears it's head, but I don't expect anything.
But thanks for the advise; always welcomed...
