(Archived) How do I turn off getting started guide

[Ritergal 0]

I do not want to share a notebook, but that's apparently what it would take to turn off the )(%($W#& Getting Started guide that pops up each time I restart Evernote. Is there another way? I also don't want to spend an hour mastering this!

You are not alone. This has been mentioned by others as well.

I believe there is a small x in the upper right corner of the pop-up box.

It is not very obvious - a white x on the green background.

If you click the X, it should kill the constant reminder.

Do you see the Explore Evernote progress bar in the Left pane?

I believe that closing this should stop the Explore window showing. 

 

If not, then it may be that a setting is not sticking. I *think* that there is a registry setting that may help this. Not entirely sure though.

and prz said: "Thanks to all who replied.  It seems I had 2 problems.  The big green box was solved when I (finally) noticed a box on the EN app itself showing the steps.  I clicked the "x" on that and my big green box / little blue box problem went away."
