Remarks

To skip an optional parameter, leaving it's default value intact, use:
    "" for a string parameters
    -1 for a numeric parameters

Only one SplashImage/Text window is allowed at one time; so if you wish to cycle through multiple images/text, simply call SplashImageOn/SplashTextOn again with the new information.

Even better is to use ControlSetText to update text without flicker...

    Arial, Comic Sans MS, Courier New, Lucida Console, Microsoft Sans Serif, System, Tahoma, Times New Roman, and WingDings
