Custom Windows Welcome

Custom Windows Welcome


Each time you restart Windows, Microsoft's Welcome 
screen appears, displaying tips for beginners. Most people 
turn this screen off after a few weeks. Change the 
welcome-screen tips that ship with Windows--or add 
your own brilliant sayings--by editing the 
Registry. Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Tips. 
Make sure the values in the key are numbered sequentially from 
zero forward. Windows 95 ships with 48 tips and NT comes 
with 50, but you can add as many as you like. 
Select Edit, New, String Value, 
then type in the number
 (48 for Windows 95 and 50 for NT, since the values start at 0). 
Double-click on the new string and type in 
its value--in this case the message or tip that 
you want to display.
