Disable Windows Tour

I've always disliked getting the Windows Tour popup on new logins. No more, simply add the following to disable it for all users on the machine.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour]
REG_DWORD
RunCount
0 = disabled

Can also easily be blasted out with Group Policy (also works using the user class, for some reason I prefer the machine level)

CLASS MACHINE
CATEGORY Custom
POLICY "Disable Windows Tour"
EXPLAIN "Disables the Windows Tour for all users"
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets \Tour"
VALUENAME "RunCount"
VALUEON NUMERIC 1
VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
END POLICY
END CATEGORY
