    Vista Welcome Center: How to add/edit/delete icons?

    My new Dell XPS 410 machine came pre-loaded with Vista Ultimate.
    However, the startup "Welcome Center" window has broken links. Some of
    the Welcome Center icons don't have a picture and others point to the
    wrong path. For instance, the Vista Mail icon points to "C:\Programs",
    so the application does not open.

    Does anybody know of a simple way to add, edit and delete icons in the
    Vista Welcome Center?

    Thank you in advance,

    J.

    This is driven by the xml file in
    %SystemRoot%\system32\oem\info\...\oobe.xml . You should consider editing
    this file to be like editing the registry. The format is fairly
    self-explanatory, however be careful not to change the xml namespaces.
