    Everytime I look up the answer to disabling the welcome center on Vista I get the same set of steps. And they don't work! It's as if the "advisees" didn't even try doing it before posting their advice. One guy said to uncheck the box at the bottom of the welcome center screen. Ha! It feels like spyware or something! (This administrator stuff is not fun for everyone; I mean it's HOME basic not office or school.)
