Skip the intros:
Right-click on your BF1942 icon and click Properties. Under "Target," it should say something like this:
"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 1942BF1942.exe" 
Add "+restart 1" after BF1942.exe (without the quotes) to the target. 
It should now say something like this: 
"C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 1942BF1942.exe" +restart 1
When you start the game, you will be taken to the profile selection screen.
