JSI Tip 1040. Another way to disable the Welcome To Windows NT splash screen.

In tip 310, we disabled the Welcome To Windows NT splash screen by renaming %SystemRoot%\welcome.exe.

You can edit the default profile for new users to do this:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

Add Key name Tips (with a blank Class).

Add Value name DisplayInitialTipWindow as a type REG_DWORD and set it to 0.

Add Value name Show as a type REG_DWORD and set it to 0.
