I would like to remove things like Norton, EarthLink and NetZero from
Welcome Center. Is it possible, and if so, how is it done?

Thanks

Why not just set the Welcome Center to *not* start with Windows? It is only
a nuisance, delays startup, and is a vehicle for ads on OEM machines. In
case you missed it, there is a checkbox in the lower left-hand corner which
you can deselect so it no longer starts with Windows.

Thanks Malke, I don't have it start when Vista starts, but I was thinking of
removing the junk and possibly adding things I use frequently. In other
words, make it more useful to me.

Thank you Malke. That worked to remove them. Now I will try to find out how
to add items I want, without having to learn scripting.
