Welcome Center - can't get rid of it (checkbox is missing!)

[William Dowell]

Dear all,

I am used to using Windows Vista, but with a new computer purchased this
morning, there is no "start-up" check-box at the bottom left of the pane to
deselect! It's driving all the new users mad!

This seems an odd bug/corruption but everything else is working smoothly so
i'll be dammed if i have to re-install windows just to get a check-box and
remove this Welcome Centre every time somebody logs in!

Any advice / registry change needed would be extremely gratefully received,

I've done a search for advice on this, but not found any answers,

Thanks again,
William

The checkbox is normally not present on the first official boot to windows.
After that, the check box appears.

Hello,

I remember WinBubble has an option for that, here:

Just Uncheck the Option "Enable Welcome Center during Startup"
Press "Alt-A" or Click the Apply Button.

I hope this helps...
Since It is a newly bought computer... Customize it using winbubble...
There are tons of options available... Enjoy with your new Vista Computer.

Someone already told the OP that what he is seeing is normal for the
first system start.
