If you have done a clean installation of windows you will be bugged by the ‘Take The Tour’ balloon. If you are a experienced user you can get rid of the ‘Take The Tour Balloon’ by doing this.

1. Click Start Run type regedit and press enter.

2. Go down to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/
Applets/Tour

3.If the value RunCount isn’t there in the right window,right-click in the window and select New ‘DWORD value’.

4. Type RunCount in the Name field and press Enter.*

*DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK

Hi,

There is a easier way to do this than the registry hack. Simply click on the balloon, then select Cancel. It won’t show up again.

But your way was a very good one two for the advanced people
