I'm now thinking we could add a link in the "Welcome to TDE" help 
handbook. We auto-start the handbook just once with the handbook 
opening directly to the Release Notes.

The next time a user opens the main handbook, the "Welcome to TDE" 
handbook contains a link to the Release Notes.

The one-time autostart would function much like this command:

khelpcenter help:/khelpcenter/index.html?anchor=welcome

To see the effect, copy and paste that command into the Run dialog 
(Alt-F2).
