Disabling the Welcome Center on Windows Vista
Wednesday, March 5, 2008 | Labels: Vista Tips | |Start the Registry Editor by entering regedit or regedt32 in the Search field off the Start orb. Navigate through to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion, Run. Scroll down until you see the key named WelcomeCenter. Delete the key and the Welcome Center will not come back on startup. You might check out the value data on the edit string and notice that it mentions executing rundll32.exe and then oobeflrdr.dll (literally it says “rundll32.exe oobefldr.dll,ShowWelcomeCenter”).
