Solution 1

You need to save the checkbox state from your application into a configuration file/registry/table and then simply read that value from that datasource when you start up your application. Based on that saved value, you show/hide your splash screen.
NOTE: You DO NOT read the value from a form control to do this, you read the saved configuration value.

If you want to remember the state of that item, then you need to save it somewhere like my solution says and then read it back in when you start up your application again.
