The Setup for IE8 is still popping up.
It says: "....New features like search suggestions retreive informations
faster as you type, and Accelators let you......"
"Learn about these new features and how manage their settings."
Next Remind me later
I did everything you suggested, however the AU Costom that referred to IE8
said update was available only for Compatibility View (KB971930).
I didn't installed it only asked for hiding it, never to show it again.

Pick one:

A blank Web page is displayed when you start IE7 [or IE8; ignore the title]
(FixIt4Me)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945385

When you open IE7 [or IE8], it may default to [the Welcome or Customize Your
Settings] page
http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/fi...every-startup/

NB: All of the above apply to IE7 and IE8

If you're going to keep IE8 installed, you will want to install any/all
Compatibility View updates offered to take full advantage of this function.

I have visited the AU site, and there it was again, that is the ominousus IE8
Setup pop-up. Doesn't do it at every time when the browser starts.
Applying the "Fixt it" didn't do the trick.
I don't belive I have to live with it.

I dunno what you're talking about anymore, sorry. Maybe you can make MS
understand it better.

I have discovered that this so-called Setup is nothing else but the finishing
steps in the setup process.
Big drawback in the compelet process this one is (without MS saying so)
etirely separete and later, unexpectedly popping up step from the main one.
