IE8 welcome screen
I haven't been able to find how to access this, so thought it would be faster to ask here..
I accidentally hit cancel when IE8's first run welcome screen popped up (other things were also yelling for my attention at the time). So, how do you access that config screen again? Thanks

Some yeah, but I don't recall which exact ones I needed set...I was configuring a set of 3 laptops with all the same settings, and this last one I fouled things up by bypassing that initial config screen.

Maybe you can "reverse" the logic from this:

Nope, changing the registry values didn't do anything.
I didn't want to do an uninstall/reinstall, so I changed what I could find through the menus and options and left it at that. It's really strange that you can't pull up that welcome wizard again (and I seem to recall it even says you can pull it up again later) |

That's the page that loads *after* going through the welcome / run-once wizard.
I was looking to run the wizard that pops up the first time you run IE8. |

I just allowed the installation of IE8 on my test rig and because I had read this thread I took screen shots of the various set up Windows.....are they of any use to you?......
