Building some new PCs at work, there are a few annoyances that I’m removing before imaging. Here’s the first one; how to disable the via hdeck.exe welcome message popup.

  • Open \Program Files\VIA\VIAudioi\HDeck.ini
  • Find the bShowWelcomeMsg=1 line and change it to bShowWelcomeMsg=0
  • Save and close the file

No more annoying popups when you reboot!

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    It works! Thank you very much!

    Comes this popup message from my own OEM windows XP? Or from an other place?
    What is this HDeck?

    Best regards,

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    HDeck is a software package installed with drivers for some sound cards. I ran into them onboard an Asus motherboard. Although on the machines I made the changes to, it now crashes on login to active directory..
