Default Welcome Center Issue
Every time I start windows the welcome center pops up and I check the box that says do not show again, but it still does. This is the same for the sidebar. Now I have already looked into this a lot now and I've tried to delete the registry files and the oobefldr.dll (which vista wont even let me do) and still nothing. Has anybody had this problem and know a solution?

Well, you could go to the Control Panel and in there you should have a Welcome Center menu. Then you can choose to "run at startup" or not.
Or, use this more intensive way of fixing the problem:
1. Start Regedit.

2. Navigate through HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion, Run.

3. Right click on the WindowsWelcomeCenter key and select Delete.

I've already done all of that and it still comes back. I can delete the core file for it either, it says that you dont have permission even when im on the admin account.

wow thats wierd. Just a shot in the dark (and maybe n00b advice coming from me), but is there something in Start->Run->Msconfig making it reset itself on startup by chance?

Yeah Vista "mother hens" preventing deletion sometimes, even in god mode. i feel your frustration..

Nope nothing about welcome center in msconfig. Yeah I sure hope more updates come soon and fix most of the problems.

MSDN has another solution might be worth a try (but what do i know)
I am not in Vista Admin mode, so i couldn't test it right now..

Procedure for Preventing the Welcome Center from Displaying at Startup

1.open Group Policy Management Console by running in Start->Run-> gpmc.msc

2. Expand User Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand Windows Components, and then click Windows Explorer.

3.In the details pane, double-click "Do not display the Welcome Center at user logon, and then click Enabled."

another choice is to force Vista to run like XP Admin where you have FULL control

Or activate the hidden admin account; turn of UAC to start with, anyway...
