Give Yourself a Tip

Take your own advise

If you still have Windows set up so that it shows a tip when you first sign in, you can add your own message, or change the ones the developers created.

Go to start>Run and type in Regedit

Find:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Tips]

Create a new string value named by incrementing the existing value names and set it to the required tip text.
The Data Type is REG_SZ (String Value)
The Value Data: Your tip
