Hi, anyone please has the registry tweaks for IE8 to avoid the questions which they appear when i use the IE8 the first time.
Thanks

Here's the .reg file I've used, although it seems the timestamps cause problems when the difference between them and the current date passes a certain point. Maybe there is some way to generate those timestamps to be the current time when a new user logs in for the first time.

 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LinksBar]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"AlwaysShowMenus"=dword:00000000
"IE8RunOnceCompletionTime"=hex:d6,a2,2b,8d,60,b1,c9,01
"IE8RunOnceLastShown"=dword:00000001
"IE8RunOnceLastShown_TIMESTAMP"=hex:fc,71,f4,6f,60,b1,c9,01
"IE8RunOncePerInstallCompleted"=dword:00000001
"IE8TourShown"=dword:00000001
"IE8TourShownTime"=hex:22,d2,aa,02,6c,a9,c9,01

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\New Windows]
"PopupMgr"="yes"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PhishingFilter]
"EnabledV8"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Suggested Sites]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000 

The stuff in the "Main" key (except the "AlwaysShowMenus" value) is what you'll need. The rest of this .reg file enables or disables other stuff.

I got it now. After investigating the .inf files generated by IEAK 8, I found the registry setting that disables the first run setup windows. Specifically, the "DisableFirstRunCustomize" value must be set to 1, as shown in this .reg file:

 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LinksBar]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"AlwaysShowMenus"=dword:00000000
"DisableFirstRunCustomize"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\New Windows]
"PopupMgr"="yes"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PhishingFilter]
"EnabledV8"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Suggested Sites]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000 

No timestamps needed.
