Hello Ty,
The changes that are neded are done as part of setup, so the installation
of the OS needs to have the files in place when setup takes place.
Since SP1 updated the installation the files were present when the OS was
installed so there isn't a way to hide the screen unless you rebuild the
image.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
