One of the most annoying things i’ve come across while deploy networks with Office 2010 is the Welcome Screen that popup every time an user opens an Office application on a computer.

By registry:

  • Open registry and navigate to HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftOffice14.0CommonGeneral
  • Add a new Dword (32-bit) Value, type ShownFirstRunOptin as the name modify the value to 0×00000001.

Disable Office 2010 Welcome screen by regedit

or by GPO:

Note: the registry key in Office 2007 is called ShownOptIn and you can find it in HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftOffice12.0CommonGeneral.
