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.
or by GPO:
-
Download the ADM files from Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=64b837b6-0aa0-4c07-bc34-bec3990a7956
-
Import the Office 2010 template.
-
Browse to User ConfigurationPoliciesAdministrative TemplatesMicrosoft Office 2010PrivacyTrust Center.
-
Disable the Setting: ‘Disable Opt-in Wizard on first run‘.
Note: the registry key in Office 2007 is called ShownOptIn and you can find it in HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftOffice12.0CommonGeneral.
