Is there a registry entry that will stop the popup
reminders like "new updates are now available" or "take a
tour of windows xp" I would like to disable these
reminders without changing any other funtions.

Thanks!!!
 
Click on control panel>performance and maintenance and
click system theres you can uncheck automatic updates but
its not advisable to do that or your system wont be
protected
 
As for the "Take a tour of WindowsXP", just click on the
balloon once and then close the window that appears. It's
a first run thing that stays there until you actually
take the tour.

Hope this helps,

Does anyone know how to disable the "Take A Tour of XP"
prompt which displays for each new user login?
 
There is generally a check box at the bottom of this screen saying "Don't
show this message again". Check this mark and close the window and it won't
show again
