Everytime my notebook starts a set up message for ie8 pops although I already have it installed and it is very annoying to close the message everytime. How do I close this message for good? I'm considering to uninstall ie8 but I'm afraid that the message will keep popping up. Someone has or had the ame problem? Pgualb
PS My notebook is an Acer Extensa 4630Z with Windows Vista

There may be other aspects of IE 8 that need setting up, eg Search Providers, Accelerators, etc.

Besides the bar already quoted the window's title says: Welcome to Internet Explorer 8. Pgualb
Yes Mark.That's exactly the one that has being bothering me for so long!Pgualb
IE is asking you to complete it's setup.
Either click "Use express settings" or "Custom settings", then click Next.

Mark: I've tried your suggestion both ways (express and custom) but the window keeps on popping everytime I turn IE on.Pgualb
Either:
open regedit, navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN
Create a new dword named "DisableRun"
Set its value to 1
Reboot PC to apply new registry setting.
You should no longer receive IE8 welcome pop-up.
Or...
Open Notepad, enter or paste the following text exactly (do not include < & >
:
<
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN]
"DisableRun"=dword:00000001
>
Save file as noWelcome.reg (** Be sure to change 'Save as type' to 'All Files' below where you name the file.)
Open Windows Explorer or (My) Documents and select noWelcome.reg
Either select "Merge" from the menu on top, or right-click on file and select "Merge".
Acknowlege the warning message.
The last message states the registry has been edited.
Reboot PC to apply new registry setting.
You should no longer receive IE8 welcome pop-up.
