SUMMARY

This article describes how to remove the Welcome To Windows dialog box using the Msbatch.inf file for batch installations of Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft does not encourage or support changes to .inf files; therefore, Microsoft Technical Support does not support the procedure in this article. Although we have tested the following procedure and it appears to function as described, make a backup copy of your .inf file before you proceed.

In the Msbatch.inf file, modify the [Install] section to include the following line:

   addreg=remove.welcome

Also, add the following section and key:

   [remove.welcome]
   HKU,.default\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\
   tips,show,1,00

Note that the Welcome to Windows dialog box is displayed the first time Windows starts.
