Startup Tips

BRINGING BACK THE WINDOWS TIPS

Do you remember the Windows 95 Tips that appeared on your screen each time you first booted up the computer? If you're like me, you eventually used your mouse to click off the check mark in front of "Show this screen the next time I start up the computer", and so those tips disappeared. But not forever! If you would like to bring them back again, then just bring up the Windows Explorer and find the program WELCOME.EXE in your Windows directory; then double click on it to run it. When the screen with the current Windows tip comes up, click on the check mark for showing the tip at bootup time.

Another way you can run the Welcome.exe program besides finding it and double clicking it in Windows Explorer is to type "Welcome" (without the quotation marks) in the Run dialog box off the Start Menu and clicking OK.
