Taking out windows tour

Recommended Posts


Im looking for a quick fix I dont really want to start fresh and remove all the addons and updates and hotfixes...

If you don`t want that, it won`t be "quick" - you`ll never get a really clean install.

You can start from scratch and load your "Last Session.ini" - and this time you can control the foldersizes.

After that you can copy your OEM-Sources again into that folder and burn your ISO.

Dear johnhc I posted my NLITE.INF and this is already in it but it doesnt seem to work... there must be some other spot I can add it

AddReg	   = T
[T]
HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer","NoSMHelp",0x00010001,1
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour","RunCount",0x00010001,0
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing","Policy",0x00000001,0
HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Driver Signing","BehaviorOnFailedVerify",0x00010001,0
HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer","ForceClassicControlPanel",0x00010001,1

Line 2

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour","RunCount",0x00010001,0

that is the right... right?

Dear g-force I said I used Nlite to remove the tour and I have the same code that you just posted in the NLITE.INF

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour","RunCount",0x00010001,0

Which I posted in my first posted and again in the post right before you posted that

For some reason its not taking the tour out.... dont know why but I need to find away to take it out

Dear JayDogg, I understood that. So I wrote

to solve your problem in a clean way - it would be much easier.

I think this the original and real problem:

Since nLite was run more than once, nhelper.exe is getting deleted too soon. If you will look at the posted nLite.inf, nhelper.exe is deleting itself third from the bottom. This means 'missing nhelper.exe' messages are probably being produced during install and some, if not most of the work scheduled, via RunOnce is not getting completed because there is no nhelper.exe. This is leading to varied and weird symptoms. Making decision about what is and is not getting done becomes moot because of the early deletion of nhelper.exe. Have fun, John.

Its doesnt really matter that Nlite has been run more then once... I copied the source files of the first disk to another folder before I ran it in Nlite again.... but nothing really changed... I have compared the files of the first disk and the second disk and everything is the same Nlite.inf and the Last Session.ini look the same... and they both do the same thing... and if I find a fix Im going to manually add it to the first disk not run it in Nlite again.... The first disk has only been run in Nlite one time.

at this point I think Im going to copied the source files of the first disk and add it to a new folder and delete the reg for the Nlite.inf and remove the Tour and messager from LAST SESSION and run it in Nlite again...

Let you know what happends

Ok just got an new idea... well not really new but after poking around for awhile I found HIVESYS.INF and I was thing this is where the reg is made and added way before runonce and the tour start so why not add this reg key to the HIVESYS.INF and see how that goes... I not very good with reg coding so a little help on the entry I should make to this file to get rid of the tour and msn messager would be great

Ok I think I tarded out and may have been talking about the wrong thing. I think the tour is gone but what I really want to rid of this (refer to pic's I posted). So what is that call and how do I take it out

Thanks everyone
