The first time that you start OpenOffice.org, a wizard opens to guide you through the registration process. You can also start this process if you choose the Help → Registration menu item in any OpenOffice.org program. You can deactivate the registration wizard as well as the Registration menu command.

To Deactivate the Registration Wizard

To use an extension to deactivate the Registration Wizard at the first startup of OpenOffice.org:

1. Download the DisableFirstStartWzd.oxt extension.
2. Install OpenOffice.org.
3. At the command line, type:

   unopkg add --shared DisableFirstStartWzd.oxt

This command installs the extension and makes it available to all users of this specific OpenOffice.org installation. You must install the extension on each OpenOffice.org installation where you want to disable the Registration Wizard.

MS Windows only: The First Start wizard creates a shortcut link for the OpenOffice.org Quickstarter in the Windows startup folder. If you deactivate the First Start wizard, this shortcut will not be placed in the startup folder.
