Welcome.exe

Featured Replies

I did a search for "Welcome.exe" & Getting Started" but turned up zero so

I thought I'd ask someone...

Does anyone here know what file be it inf or whatever, that is responsible

for the running of the Welcome.exe on the 1st booting of a Windows 2000

fresh install...

I noticed that is has a link in the tools section of the start menu listed

as "Getting Started" The task manager lists it as

"Getting Started with Windows 2000"

But In searching all the hives & other infs within the CD I can't

for the life of me find what is responsible for it's running on 1st booting...

Thanks in advance...

Please don't beat me up for digging up this topic!

I was messing around with Windows 2000 on an old PC and noticed there was no entry on the registry for running "welcome.exe" anywhere, and a Google search only shows this topic without an answer, so... I fired up Process Monitor v2.8 (requires SP4 and Update Rollup 1) to figure out what would change in the system when I unchecked "Show this screen at startup" on the welcome.exe window, and the answer to the 1st post is:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Tips: Show =1 launches welcome.exe, Show = 0 does not launch welcome.exe.
