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.
