Windows 95 Misc

Bring Back the Welcome Mat!

SUMMARY: Miss the Windows 95 welcome screen? Use this tip and see it again!

Remember when you first installed Windows 95? Remember the "Welcome" menu that came up with a tip every time you booted Windows 95? Remember deselecting the box that showed the window every time you started Windows 95? Now you want the box back...but where is it?

Open your Windows directory from Explorer, and run the program WELCOME.EXE (it may show up just with the name WELCOME). You will once again see the welcome screen in full glory. You can even select it to show itself every time you run Windows 95.

Or try this, suggested by MalekTips reader David F. Burger. First, click on the "Start" button. Select "Help." Click on the "Find" tab on the window that follows. Under "Type the word(s) you want to find," type in "welcome" and press enter. Follow the instructions presented.
