Two moderately annoying default settings that Vista
deploys are the Welcome Center and the Sidebar features.
If you get tired of seeing these two features every time
you boot your system, here's how to disable them:
First, to disable the Welcome Center:
With the Welcome Center showing, uncheck the checkbox
titled: "Run at startup", located at the bottom of the
Welcome Center window.
Next, if you do not have any use for the Sidebar feature
and would like to disable it, here's how:
-
Right click the Vista Sidebar icon that resides in
the system tray.
-
Select Properties from the resulting window.
-
Uncheck the checkbox titled: "Start sidebar when
Windows starts".
-
Click OK.
