Don't display the Getting Started welcome screen at logon

Requirements: Only works on Microsoft Windows 2000

Location: Computer Configuration\System\Logon\

Description:
Supresses the welcome screen.

This setting hides the welcome screen that is displayed on Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional each time the user logs on.

Users can still display the welcome screen by selecting it on the Start menu or by typing "Welcome" in the Run dialog box.

This setting applies only to Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional. It does not affect the "Configure Your Server on a Windows 2000 Server" screen on Windows 2000 Server.

Note

• This setting appears in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both settings are configured, the setting in Computer Configuration takes precedence over the setting in User Configuration.

Tip

• To display the welcome screen, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click "Getting Started." To suppress the welcome screen without specifying a setting, clear the "Show this screen at startup" check box on the welcome screen.
