| | preventing the welcome center from showing how do disable the welcome center from showing? is this done with the file oobe.xml. actually what i would like to do is start vista and start running a custom shell (not explorer.exe) again would oobe.xml be involved in that process or is there a "bigger" idea that would cause vista to skip the login screen, the welcome center and just move to running the shell as designated by the registry entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion \Winlogon] "Shell"="Explorer.exe" (or something else) thanks black_13 |

| | Re: preventing the welcome center from showing 1. Start Regedit. 2. Navigate through HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion, Run. 3. Right click on the WindowsWelcomeCenter key and select Delete. The next time you restart the Welcome Center will be gone.
