Add an initial, automated Walk-Through widget upon installation and first use

While I'm fairly computer literate and generally don't need software walk-throughs for new software, being able to figure the software out for myself, an automated, quick Walk-Through widget actually would be helpful here upon the first running of the newly-installed program (and with a program menu option to repeat this introduction of the program later, for users wanting a "refresher"), cascading in a number of windows the main features of the program and with an "escape" button for those users who don't feel the need to go through the introduction. In essence, an automated initial tour of the program, going through the various screens and more important options, many of which already are pointed out in the EPIM's test Data File if one goes exploring the software manually.

As part of this, the tour should end with an option to set up one's own EPIM Data File, to get going with the PIM. As matters stand now, as I initially went exploring in the program and looking through the previously-installed test entries under the test EPIM, while I found the entries helpful and informative, I couldn't help but wonder, "Egads, how do I get away from all of these previous entries--am I stuck with them or having to delete them 1-by-1?" It's only by continuing to explore and through a leap of faith, this not be explained, that I found where and how I could set up my own, "real" EPIM Data File. By automating this, the program could smooth a new user's entry into the use of the software.
