Windows Vista Welcome Center

By default, the operating system displays the Welcome Center at startup. You can access the Welcome Center console, from Control Panel.



The Welcome Center provides an overview of the system and quick access to perform tasks that help you get started using Windows Vista. To display all the available options, click Show All Items. The available options include the following tasks:

Add New Users; Configure user accounts for each person who will log on locally to the computer. You can manage account settings and parental controls for accounts. This option isn’t available when you log on to a domain.

Personalize Windows; Control the appearance and sound effects used by Windows Vista. You can manage settings for the display, visual appearance, desktop background, screen saver, sound effects, mouse pointers, and themes.

Set Up Devices; Check for devices that Setup did not install as part of the upgrade or installation. If you elect to set up devices and new hardware is found, you’ll be guided through the process of installing the device.

Windows Easy Transfer; Run the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard, which can be used to transfer user accounts, files and folders, program settings, Internet settings (including favorites), and e-mail settings (including contacts and messages) from your old computer. For the transfer, you can use CDs, DVDs, a universal serial bus (USB) flash drive, or external hard drives, as well as network folders and a USB cable that connects to both computers. To transfer settings, the old computer must be running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista.

View Your Computer Details; Display the default view for the Welcome Center, which provides an overview of the system configuration. Use the More Details link to access the System console and view additional information about the computer.

By default, the Welcome Center displays each time you start the computer.
