look in the registry guide post. (the one that has 15 pages it tells you in there how to disable it using a reghack.)

Are you talking about Windows Tour here? Man, if there was a sure way to not only disallow its install, but to prevent XP from even mentioning it at the first startup at all, I'd be chuffed.

There must be a tweak somewhere: I have not been offered a "Windows Tour" in a long time. I forgot all about it.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour]
"RunCount"=dword:00000000

... could be this ...

The Windows Tour is something I find SO highly annoying I broke down and edited hivesft.inf in my install source. Simply adding this line in the [AddReg] section will turn it off permanently for all users.

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour","RunCount",0x00010003,0    ;Added 21 May 2003

Generally I will try to keep my changes to more detached methods such as [GuiRunOnce] in unattend.txt and the like (to protect against future service packs) but I wanted to make sure that there would be NO way I would ever see that tour again, no matter what my install method.

I used this:

Remove Movie maker

Delete moviemk.in_ from i386 folder

Download moviemk.inf and save it into i386 folder

Now when you install XP you won't have movie maker

Remove net meeting

Delete MSNETMTG.IN_ from i386 folder

Download MSNETMTG.INF to i386 folder

Now ms netmeeting is gone

But the files, are not removed (they are however empty)

this is a very old thread if you want to remove stuff use jdebrock's method.

No, you can leave the files un compressed. I just made a CD with ALL the files uncompressed, this way XP does not have to unzip on the fly, so the install goes faster.

Hello Gosh,

Can't find your .inf files. Can you (or somebody else) put them online anywhere?

nLite does this in a better way for all versions of XP... ;)
