Remove Congratulations Message

A fresh installation of Zen Cart has on the home page the message:

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution...

To remove the default Zen Cart  'congratulations' message requires the editing of one or more of the language files. Using an FTP package download a copy of the directory /includes/languages, from your website. To find the files which require editing login to the admin side of your website www.mywebsite.co.uk/admin and navigate to the page:

Tools/Developers Tool Kit

Scroll to the bottom of the page, to the section Look-up in all files. Enter congratulations as the Key or Name and select all files catalog/admin. A number of items will be listed. The item of interest to us is labeled as/public_html/includes/languages/english/index.php with the following.

Line #51 : define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.');

Line #55 : define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.');

Using a suitable editor edit the file substituting your own text and then FTP the file back in place.
