    Is there any way to remove the HP links section in the vista welcome center? I removed most of the default HP programs so almost all of the links are just showing up as blank icons. I searched around and saw a reference to editing an Oobe.xml file but It didn't seem to work for me. Thanks.

    To customize Welcome Center by using OOBE.xmlOpen Oobe.xml.

    This file is stored in windows\system32\oobe\info.


    By using a text editor or XML editor, such as Notepad, update Oobe.xml with the appropriate files, paths, and content.


    Save your updated version of Oobe.xml in windows\system32\oobe\info, or in the appropriate language- and locale-specific folders required for your customizations.

    It shound work if you edit the file they it shound be xml
