On Windows Mobile 6 Professional and Windows Mobile 6 Classic Individual pages of Welcome.exe can be disabled
per platform (except for the initial Windows Mobile page). This registry key is required by OEMs who dont need to
calibrate their touch screen, etc. If the reg key is 0 or missing, all pages are enabled. If all pages are disabled, we no

The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Welcome contains the parameter to set the individual pages.
The following table shows the values to use.
