Custom Guided Tour for Dynamics CRM 2013 - dynamics-crm

You know how when you first login to Dynamics CRM 2013, you see this pop up with a nice smiling lady and she offers to guide you through how to use the new 2013 version? Well, a client of ours would like to customize that tour or completely replace that tour with something new and custom.
Has anyone done this before or have any ideas of how this would be possible?
Thanks

The guided tour is not customizable.
You can create an HTML Webresource to implement your custom tour and add a button inside the command bar to open it.

how to remove task entity from activites.
If you are asking about removing activities from quick create bar, XrmToolbox won't help. There is no supported way, that you could achieve this.
Check this community question: https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/t/119887
P.S. XrmToolbox only allow you to edit normal menu (sales,marketing,...), not quick create menu.
you can use the XRMTOOLBOX whit this link https://xrmtoolbox.codeplex.com/
Whit this tool you can edit the sitemap of the CRM and is very friendly to use.
1- connect to your organization
2- on SiteMap Editor.
3- Click on Load Site Map and after that just select the area and you can customize your site map.

Visual Studio TFS 2015 Web Portal View Project Portal View Process Guidance link doesn't work when left-clicked

When I left-click on View Project portal /process guidance /reports, it doesn't take me to the site. I need to right-click it and open in new tab or new window. What could be the problem here?
Thank you.
It's a known issue, please check the comment from Chris Snyder (MSFT) in this blog:
"thanks for the heads-up with regards to the Other Links widgets. The issue you described is a known bug which will be fixed for Update 2. In the interim, the workaround that we recommend is to craft an instance of the Markdown widget which includes the links you need."

Visual Web Developer 2010 contact us form, need tutorial or example

I've googled, but I cannot find a good, short, easy-to-comprehend tutorial on how to make a contact us page in VWD 2010 Express.
I just want a simple form, say, contactengineering.aspx, and when they submit the form, the e-mail gets sent directly to an email addresses of one of our engineers. I'd like something easy-to-make and quick; the master pages are already made.
Could anybody point me in the right direction here?
Thanks a bunch!
