Turn Off the Bouncing 'Click Here to Begin' Arrow Intended For Windows 95 only The Click Here to Begin arrow that bounces off the Start menu button when you first start Windows 95 was irritating right off the bat. I suppose it's useful for those folks who can't figure out what Start means, but many of us think it's fairly stupid. Microsoft claims that it is impossible to get rid of the little bouncing arrow, but we've figured it out: Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE). Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ Explorer. If it's not there, create a binary value and call it NoStartBanner. Double-click on NoStartBanner, and enter the value 01 00 00 00, and press OK.
