Intro: If seeing the PortableApps splash screen every single time you launch Portable Chrome or Portable Pidgin or Portable-whatnot gets on your nerves, you aren't alone, and thankfully there's a quick and easy solution to your problem.
Over at the How-To Geek site (my home away from Lifehacker), writer Mysticgeek writes up a guide to killing the splash screen in PortableApps applications, which requires nothing more than a simple file edit. To make the change for yourself, you can find the INI file in the Other\Source directory, change the DisableSplashScreen line to True instead of False, and then copy the file into the same directory as the executable file. Hit the link for the full walk-through for Firefox Portable, but the same method should work for any of the PortableApps.com applications.
