[H] Win7 Getting Started Window
Very simply, I've got a system with Win7 where there is no option to get rid of the 'Getting Started' window. It pops up at login each and every time and the normal checkbox at the bottom is not there. Weird but annoying. Anyone know how to get rid of it? ThanksSteve

Been there, done that. I can open the window as big as I want and there's no checkbox. msconfig has no entry for that window starting. Logging in as administrator shows no Getting Started window. Hmm, where would that setting be???

Search the usual "Run" locations for "WelcomeCenter" and delete it? There is also likely a group policy to do so assuming you have something better than Home installed.
