This is called a Splash Screen. There are various ways of doing this from using a start form that closes when a timer elapses, to putting code in the initialization area of your main form, to putting a splash form on a separate thread.

As Neil stated, there are several ways to create a splash screen depending on your specific circumstances. I'll include several links to different circumstances:

Using a splash sreen as both a Splash screen and an About dialog

Splash screen used as a password form
