The Welcome Center you see when you log into your Vista computer is a fairly handy tool with features such as computers details and internet connections, but some people must just find it annoying!

I have had a few email regarding the welcome center, with questions regarding just how to stop it showing up when you log in. This tweak is very simple and should take you a whole 5 seconds to do, here is both methods you can try to disable your welcome center;

In the Welcome Center

  • Open your welcome center either;
    • When you login
    • Type welcome in your start menu
    • Control panel - systems and maintenance - welcome screen
  • At the bottom you will find a box saying ‘Run at startup’
  • Uncheck this
  • Done
Disable Your Welcome Center

Through Your Registry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

  • Find WindowsWelcomeCenter
  • Right click on it
  • Select delete
  • Done
Disable Your Welcome Screen in Regedit
