If you are getting bored of the Windows tutorial tips that appear when you log in to windows, use this hack to change and add your own tips.
Navigate to:
HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Tips
The tips are listed in alphabetical or numerical sequence. You can either replace the string values in the existing tips, or create your own tips, or increment the existing letters or numbers and enter a string value with your own tip. For example, if the last tip is designated “Y”, the next tip could be “Z” with your String Value text.
You can use any message in the String Value; it needn’t be a tip! For example, try “Don’t forget to call home!” as a tip and see how it appears when you next log in.
