Hide menu item “Tour” from Help menu.

This setting disables the tutorial part of help menu in Internet Explorer.

Tweak for : Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows Vista

Description:

The user can take a tour of Internet Explorer by selecting the option from the Help menu of the Internet Explorer. On enabling this registry setting, the “Tour” command is removed and therefore, the user can not go through it.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry path listed below. If any of the subkeys “Internet Explorer\Restrictions” is not present, create it as explained below. Then, create a DWORD value “NoHelpItemTutorial”, if this value does not exist.

Now, right-click and modify the value to “1” which can hide the option to take a tour. However, if you want to show the option back, change the value to “0”.

The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
