    I have Windows XP for Professionals. I'm running it in a multi-user environment.
    Whenever I log-in a circle shaped icon shows up in the system tray and it pops the message 'Welcome to Windows XP - Take a tour of XP...........'
    It is really annoying. I wonder if somebody could tell me how to get rid of it. I have checked gpedit.msc and found nothing there.

    Thanks,
    JagmoN

    Take the tour! Maybe just starting it and cancelling will suffice, but this message will disappear shortly, in any case.

    I'll post a better answer later when I have time if I think of anything ;)

    Information from this site is:

    "XP displays the Windows Tour balloon prompt the first 3 times you logon to XP. If you want to suppress the XP Tour, use the following XP registry edit "

    Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour
    Name: RunCount
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 0
