How to disable http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=191285

Problem: Pop-up Microsoft start web page can't be removed when Internet Explorer opens

Solution is described here:
http://www.geoffchappell.com/notes/windows/ie/firstrun.htm

It helped to add DisableFirstRunCustomize in registry,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
and put the REG_DWORD value as 1.


Can't create file: right click the folder you want to create

Problem: File attachment in Outlook can't be opened, there is "can't create" error


This web page helped:

Problem was caused by hidden OLK folder. The location of it can be found here:
registry - find; OutlookSecureTempFolder
once found, there is location to OLKxx folder,

find it via My Computer or Windows Explorer,
delete its contents.
